Summary: Great book Mr. Carnegie.
Review: A friend of mine just got me started in a network marketing company. I asked his upline what is the best way to get my business started off quickly. And he said, "people--you need to go out and meet people."I was ready to quit. Nobody I knew would be a good candidate for a business and meeting new people and approaching them on a business opportunity scared the heck out of me. He suggested that I read How To Win Friends and Influence People and that this book would teach me what I needed to know to develop the ability to positively influence other people. Cool. I read the book and it worked. I overcame my fears and created a great downline. Now I am recommending How To Win Friends and Influence People to everyone I know. By the way, I also overcame my fear of public speaking and am conducting both business presentations and trainings for my reps. The book is great. I highly recommend it.

Summary: The first and the best self help program
Review: I have to admit that people skills were never my strongpoint. While I had no problem making friends, my problem was handling problem people and taking a leadership role. I read the book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" many times. It made all the difference in human relations and I made the transition to a people person to the point where I can handle anybody and have developed strong leadership skills. While the book is great, I really enjoy the cd's. Nice 8 pack that helps to reinforce the material while driving around. Great program. Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" was the first and best self help book. In my opinion it is still the best.

Summary: Apply the principles by your own way
Review: It's one of the best books I've ever read. He pointed out nearly every way to "win friends and influence people". Althought he made good points and use appropriate examples to illustrate, some of these too specific examples are not up-to-date. If we imitate the way those characters in his example acted, it may be awkward. Fortunately, he did give 9 suggestions to get most out of this book, which always encourage you to apply these principles by your own way. Therefore what we need to do is: (1) follow the principles (2)read the examples to understand the principles (3) forget the example and learn by heart only the principles (4) apply the principles by your own way.

Summary: This is one for the Business Book Hall of Fame
Review: One of the most helpful books I have read. Dealing with problems has never been this easy. I also bought the book on tape and listen to it every couple of months. If you own a business, manage people, or deal with customers then read this book. My people skills are much better now and, those task that I hated to deal with (like complaints and problem solving) are really no big deal anymore.

Summary: Thank you, Mr Carnegie
Review: A very useful book that arrived just in time. My last attempt at making a friend, failed. I was on the verge of despair and ready to ask my Aunt Frieda for help. She runs a support group for carnally obsessed shy elders. I didn't really fit into any of those categories, but, hey any port in a storm sort of thing. This book did the trick and now I'm leading the support group.

Summary: Ironically powerful and effective.
Review: When I first came across How To Win Friends and Influence People, my first thought was; "What a crock of _ _ _ _!" Then I met a guy named Barry. He was the best people person I had ever met. Interesting, he had been a employee of Dale Carnegie and
had been through all the trainings and read all of Mr. Carnegie's books. Needless to say, he highly recommended this book in particular and the Carnegie techniques. How To Win Friends and Influence People is a powerful book loaded with timeless information. It made such a difference in my life that soon after reading this book, I recieved a promotion that I had been passed over for previously. The only real power is PEOPLE POWER!! This book shows you to get that power.

Summary: Ironically truthful and deceptive.
Review: This book tells you the truth about life. "People are generally interested only in themselves, so if you act interested in them they will like you better". There's no denying that and if you apply these principles you will probably be more succesful in a business sense. The fact is that we can't force ourselves to be interested in someone else, so this book encourages you to be deceptive with a fake smile and flattering words. I would advise going to a local college and taking a few acting classes before attempting to apply these principles.

Summary: More than just getting along well with people
Review: I think the title of this book may be misleading in that just about everyone can get along with people, and win friends. The part of the title that most people was is the abaility to influence others especially in a way that makes them happy and willing to do what you ask. As a supervisor for a department of 50 people, I found it was easy to get people to do what I asked them becuase I was the boss. After reading How To Win Friends and Influence People, I was able to get people to do what I asked not because I was there supervisor, because they wanted to. In addition, I have always found that there are always some people (many times my supervisors) who completely lack people skills. Dale Carnegies book taugh me how to work with those people as well. I highly recommend How To Win Friends and Influence People to anyone who wants to significantly improve their people skills and especially their ability to positively influence people. Great book!

Summary: Still a winner. A must to develop people skills
Review: Dale Carnegie felt that success was only 15% ability and 85% on how you were able to communicate. How effectively we communicate dictates how effective we are in life. How To Win Friends and Influence People is a must read for anyone who wants to achieve success.
