Public Speaking and Influencing Men In Business (ISBN 0-7661-6973-1) is a 1937 revision of Dale Carnegie's 1926 book Public Speaking: a Practical Course for Business Men. Dorothy Carnegie produced 2 separate revised editions: How to Develop Self-Confidence and Influence People by Public Speaking (1956), aimed at the general public, and The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking (1962), as a replacement textbook for the Dale Carnegie Course. A more recent revised edition is Public Speaking for Success (2005), revised by Arthur Pell, which restores content that was left out of the Dorothy Carnegie-revised works.
