The Art of Public Speaking
by Dale Carnegie
According to the authors of this iconic book, the best way to become a confident, effective speaker is to do so. Practice, practice, practice. And in doing so, assume the positive. There is something to be said. Forget yourself. Eliminate fear. Immerse yourself in your topic. And most importantly, expect success. "If you believe you have failed," they write, "there is hope for you. You will."
