the quick and easy way to Effective Speaking Hardback Book with Dust Jacket Revision by Dorothy Carnegie of PUBLIC SPEAKING AND INFLUENCING MEN IN BUSINESS by Dale Carnegie Over 270 pages Copyright © 1962 by Dorothy Carnegie According to the back cover: " " This revision of the textbook that Dale Carnegie wrote for his courses has been based upon my husband's own notes and ideas. The title is one which he himself chose before his work was interrupted by death. I have tried to keep in mind his basic philosophy that effective speaking is more than "saying a few words" to an audience: it is the revealing expression of a human personality. " " Each activity of our lives is communication of a sort, but it is through speech that man asserts his distinctiveness from other forms of life. " " When he is unable to say clearly what he means, through either nervousness, timidity or foggy thought-process, his personality is blocked off, dimmed out, and misunderstood. " " Business, social, and personal satisfactions depend heavily upon a person's ability to communicate clearly to his fellow men what he is, what he desires, and what he believes in. And now, as never before, in an atmosphere of international tensions, fears and insecurities, we need the channel of communication between peoples kept open. " " It is my hope that The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking will be helpful in all these ways, both to those who wish merely to function with greater ease and self-confidence in practical pursuits, and to those who wish to express themselves more completely as individuals seeking a deeper personal fulfillment.
