Self-help books aim to help the reader with problems, offering them
clear and effective guidance on how obstacles can be passed and
solutions found, especially with regard to common issues and day-to-day
life. Such books take their name from the 1859 best-selling "Self-Help"
by Samuel Smiles, and are often also referred to as "self-improvement"
books. This particular volume aims to help the reader with public
speaking, focusing on word choice and the inherent power of words to
arouse, convince, and impress. This timeless volume is highly
recommended for those looking to improve their public speaking and would
make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Contents include: "Word -
Power: How to Develop It", "Good Judgement in Speaking", "How to Fix a
Speech in your Mind", "Will - Power and Self - Confidence", and "How to
Think in Words". Grenville Kleiser (1868-1953) was a North American
author best remembered for his many inspirational and motivational
books, especially those related to oration and self development. He also
worked as a Public Speaking teacher at Yale Divinity School, Yale
University. Other notable works by this author include: "How to Speak in
Public" (1906), "Humorous Hits and How to Hold an Audience" (1908), and
"Stories that Take" (1910). Many vintage books such as this are becoming
increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are
republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality
edition complete with the original text and artwork.
