I have read other books by Dale Carnegie on public speaking, and this book, TIPS FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING, is different from those other books. At the beginning of this book, TIPS FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING, Dale Carnegie tells how he changed from a "Ninety-Eight Pound Weakling" of public speaking to the "Mr. America" of public speaking. The chapters cover every kind of speech you would ever want to make: The Convincing Speech, The Humorous Speech, The Well-Delivered Speech, The Attractive Speech, The Distinctive Speech, The Popular Speech, The Interesting Speech, The Impressive Speech, and The Decisive Speech. He also tells you how to prepare the speech, open and close an address, and handle the audience. Carnegie gives lots of examples for every point he makes, so it is easy to grasp the concepts. It was a pleasure reading this book. Also, the TIPS are numbered consecutively throughout the book, so you can either read the book from start to finish, or "dip in" wherever you want. I highly recommend this book!
