| Summary | "Talks on Talking" by Grenville Kleiser is a guide on effective communication, written in the early 20th century. The book provides practical advice for improving conversational skills and public speaking techniques, drawing from the author’s experience as an instructor in public speaking. The central theme revolves around the art of conversation, exploring the dynamics of communication and offering insights into how to engage with others meaningfully and persuasively. At the start of the text, Kleiser emphasizes the importance of naturalness and sincerity in conversation, cautioning against rigid rules of speech that can stifle genuine expression. He discusses the significance of adaptability in conversation, suggesting that personality and the manner of delivery are as crucial as the content of what is being said. Kleiser identifies various types of talkers, illustrating common conversational pitfalls and encouraging readers to develop qualities that enhance their speaking abilities and foster engaging, effective communication.
