An excellent manual that achieves something difficult: it combines the Aristotelian triad of ethos-pathos-logos with modern communication models, without becoming either a dry academic text or a superficial 'self-help' book. The chapters on audience analysis and anxiety management are particularly well-developed, while the examples from historical and contemporary speeches provide real practical value. Highly recommended for educators, executives, and anyone called to speak in public.

Much more comprehensive than I expected! 'The Art of Public Speaking' is truly an essential manual for anyone who wants to learn to express themselves correctly and with influence. Concise, modern, and extremely useful. I read it with great interest and highly recommend it

One of the most comprehensive Greek handbooks on rhetoric
The book stands out because it does not limit itself to theory—it harmoniously combines the basic principles of communication with practical techniques that can be immediately applied, whether you are speaking in a professional environment, an academic presentation, or a public event.
What particularly impressed me is the methodical way in which iconic speeches are deconstructed, from Martin Luther King, Obama, and Malala, to Venizelos and Karamanlis. They are not simply presented as examples; they are systematically analyzed in terms of structure, argumentation, the use of emotional and logical elements, as well as audience management.
The chapters on managing anxiety, non-verbal communication, and audience analysis are very useful. The author’s hands-on experience in politics and university teaching offers a perspective rarely found in purely academic texts.
I highly recommend it to professionals, educators, students, and anyone who is called to speak in public and wants to do so with awareness and effectiveness.

Excellent book for anyone who wants to truly improve the way they speak and influence others. This is not just a simple “motivational” read, but a very structured approach to public speaking. I particularly liked that it doesn’t stay on the surface, but clearly explains how to organize your thoughts, how to build arguments, and how to turn speech into real influence.
The style is serious and substantial, without unnecessary chatter. The concepts are presented in a way that makes you think and see the importance of speech differently, not only in speeches but also in everyday communication, work, and negotiations.
I especially singled out the sections on speech structure and pressure management, which are things you rarely find so clearly in similar books.

Overall, I believe it’s a book worth having in your library, whether you’re a beginner or already experienced in public speaking. It offers real value and puts you in a process of improvement.
