Rating:  Summary: I just wish I could give MORE stars! Review: A little book that can change your life - for the better. The book is surprisingly interesting with its many anecdotes and the advice it gives is very direct, simple, and powerful. It helps you see how to connect with people in positive ways, to really listen to them and consider their needs and goals and how your goals fit together. It has made a huge difference in my personal and professional life. Hard to belive it was written in the early decades of the 20th century and is still so relevant.

Rating:  Summary: Life can be easy, simple, & fun!!! Review: Review for "How to Win Friends & Influence People"I really enjoyed reading "How to Win Friends & Influence People." It reminded me of all the times I heard growing up: "you get more with honey than vinegar". This book reminded me how simple, easy, and fun life can be if you let it. How easy it is to forget that a small thing as simple as a smile or a "how are you?" can make someone's day. It is easy to criticize someone when you are upset, but when you can look at a situation from the other person's perspective, how much richer your life becomes. You can have compassion for not only the other person, but for yourself. Another book I really enjoyed is "Working on Yourself Doesn't Work" by Ariel & Shya Kane. It was an easy and enjoyable read and left me feeling good about myself.
Rating:  Summary: Impressive soul Review: I been impressed with the Dale Carneige book 'How to win Friends & Influence People' ever since I read this book. It's a great possession and an asset - Get updated before you are Outdated! The book has remained the best in series of understanding human nature with the tips n tricks of the winning edge. I recommend this book to all who live with the hopes to reach the skies and shine with success. Money alone does not matter but its the very essence of human relations that bridges the gaps. The book provides not only information but is an attempt to form new habits to stay tuned with life. Carnegie believed that financial success is 15 percent due to professional knowledge and 85 percent to the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among people. The book teaches the very skills to follow the principles and be a leader without a wee bit of resentment. Co-operation and how to deal with people, being a good conversationalist with the power of voice and interest people is jotted down by Dale Carneige in an amazing way. People apt to make mistakes but how to admit it and stop criticizing is a way to win friends. Nobody likes others to be bossy or take orders but in situations that arise, Dale figures out ways to tackle with techniques. How to win friends is a handy guide for every person, especially business people and should be on top charts in home library or work place. A wisdom book for healthy human relationships you can't ignore to read, after all. Apart from 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, How to win friends is a 'Sure Pick' Enjoy!
Rating:  Summary: So True! Review: If you can only read three books for the rest of your life...these are the three I recommend: 1.) Breaking the Pattern 2.) How to Win Friend and Influence People 3.) The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People If you read all three of these books, you'll be set for life! "Breaking the Pattern" shows you how to reach all the goals you've ever wanted to. "How to Win Friends" makes sure that you wont be alone when you do reach those goals, and Stephen Covey teaches you how to do both most effectively! With these three books, you can't lose! You won't lose! I've been recommending them to all my dearest friends!
Rating:  Summary: The Practical And The Basics Review: As a former Dale Carnegie Course instructor, I wholeheartedly recommend that you read -- study -- "How To Win Friends" by Dale Carnegie. I suggest you then go on to read -- study -- the book called "West Point: Character Leadership Education, A Book Developed From Thomas Jefferson's Own Readings And Writings" by Norman Thomas Remick. The latter lays out in plain language, as Dale Carnegie or Will Rogers would have done, the philosophical basics behind the inimitable Dale Carnegie's writings.
Rating:  Summary: Out-of-date classic Review: I used to like this book. I did... really! For some reason I kept it all these years. In reality, this book suffers from its conversational style. The advice offered comes down to manipulative maneuvers like "Smile" and "Appreciate other people" For those looking for a success-type book, I recommend these titles: _7 Habits of Highly Effective People_ _Greatest Networker in the World_ _Successful Intelligence_
Rating:  Summary: The best book I have ever read Review: This is the best book I have ever read!!! It made my life - after applying Dales techniques, I really think my impression in front of other people has improved. I also gave this book to my staff to read. Its a classic. And its so wonderful with so many examples. Its just the best. I have read it more then 10 times.
Rating:  Summary: My Dad Made Me Read This Book Review: And you have no idea how successful it has been!
Rating:  Summary: The Brilliance of Simplicity! Review: Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends & Influence People Changed My Life. At first glance, and to many readers this appears to be manipulation at its best......which it isn't! The words, sincere & honest which appear frequently destroy all myths this is about manipulating others. Everything Mr. Carnegie says goes beyond getting people on your side. Once you start to apply these principles it will cause you to take a look at YOURSELF, take control of your actions, choose who you want to be and how you treat others around you to get the most out of yourself, and encourage others to do the same. The brilliance......is that there is nothing in this book we haven't been taught since grade school. NObody re-inventing the wheel so to speak, its the principles and fundamentals of human interaction we all know, and forget to use on a daily basis. My suggestion, make this an annual reader, the contents are timeless reminders!!!
