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.
