The Art of Interesting: Its Theory and Practice for Speakers and Writers is a comprehensive guidebook written by Francis P. Donnelly. The book is aimed at helping speakers and writers to create engaging and compelling content that captures the attention of their audience. The book is divided into two parts - the theory of interest and the practice of interest.In the first part of the book, Donnelly explores the theory of interest by examining the psychological and emotional factors that make people interested in certain topics or stories. He discusses the importance of understanding your audience, identifying their needs and interests, and tailoring your content to meet those needs. Donnelly also explores the role of curiosity, surprise, and emotion in creating interest and offers practical tips for incorporating these elements into your writing and speaking.In the second part of the book, Donnelly focuses on the practice of interest by providing concrete strategies and techniques for creating engaging content. He covers topics such as storytelling, humor, rhetorical devices, pacing, and structure, and offers numerous examples and exercises to help readers apply these concepts in their own work. The book also includes a section on overcoming writer's block and other common obstacles to creativity.Overall, The Art of Interesting is a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their writing or speaking skills and create content that resonates with their audience. Donnelly's engaging writing style and practical advice make this book a must-read for anyone seeking to master the art of interest.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
