Summary: The Big Bang of self-improvement books!
Review: An enjoyable anecdote-filled volume for anyone who works with others and experiences the pressures of a career. Carnegie is a storyteller of the first rank, and the chief attraction for me is how he uses anecdotes from famous and not so famous people to humanize and underscore his points. He mixes stories and quotes from fascinating figures from Jesus to Confucius, Eleanor Roosevelt to Lincoln. He mixes in accounts of everyday people in which they explain their philosophies of leading and managing people and how they developed their personal methods of success.The language is dated (mentions of locomotives and telegrams) as the book was written in the 1930's but the message is dead-on. The Marcus Aurelius quote "Our life is what our thoughts make it" sums up the theme of the book. You can open to a random page, begin reading, and relieve tension in 5 minutes. Now I know why Dale Carnegie was in the vanguard of writers of motivational books. He is, as they say, The Man.

Summary: Enjoy Life and your Job
Review: I always was a good man, after reading this book I became a better man, and I shall be eternally grateful to Dale Carnegie for his great work on this book. This book is a life changer, and also one of the best examples that we never know enough and that we should keep learning something new in each day of our lives.

It mentions the originality and how important it is to be ourselves rather than trying to be someone which we aren't and can't be. It covers our 'boredom' we get at work and it shows us the way how to turn it into a happiness.So easy that is, If I only knew that before.

And this book of course it is extremely rich by powerful sayings
and true life stories from people of all ages.

YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK and after you do YOU'LL WELCOME DAILY
PROBLEMS with all your heart because you'll know by then, how to
make them dissapear - within seconds.

Summary: My opinion on How to Enjoy Your Life and Your Job
Review: I believe that it was really good book for everybody regardless ages and titles as long as it is working person.

Sometimes, we spends much more time in company together with collleagues. Therefore, we should set up our own principals or guides to enjoy our life and job.

The suggestions and guides he proposed are very relevant and helpful for that purpose eventhough he suggested them many years ago since true principal could not be suject to time and eternally applicable.

Summary: Packed with Knowledge!
Review: In this day of self-help mania, it's hard to know where to start. Everywhere you turn there's another book being released by a motivational speaker. It's time to get back to basics, and the best way to do that is to go to the father of self-help himself - Dale Carnegie. This compilation of the best of his classics could be re-titled "Dale Carnegie's Greatest Hits." It is packed with anecdotes of how famous and not-so-famous people through the ages have hit tough situations in life and overcome them. Although some of the language is dated - Carnegie wrote much the material in the 1930's - the situations he portrays are not limited to any era. You will be encouraged to know that you, too, can be happy, popular and organized. We recommend this book to anyone who works with people in any capacity; it could drastically change how you approach your life and the people around you.

Summary: Time won't change these truths
Review: My copy of this book is yellowed, tattered and over 30 years old. Nonetheless, I can open to any page and find a bit of timeless wisdom and truth. I've worked in difficult situations with groups and individuals for the past ten years. I've worked with, convicts, hardcore addicts and the mentally ill. I've also worked with highly educated, wealthy, distinguished individuals. I'm here to tell you that the techniques in this book will work with all people.

No one likes to be criticized or condemned. We all want to save face and feel important. This book teaches you the power of humility and the art of getting what you want while working cooperatively and harmoniously with others.

If you find yourself struggling at your current job or if you're in conflict with your co-workers or employees, I'd recommend trying some of the techniques and principles outlined in this book.

Summary: How to win friends and influence people
Review: The first time I read this book I was 19 years old, now I'm 24. I have found Dale Carnegie to be on the finest writers that exist. I have and still am using his techniques. His book has given me a better image on life and how to handle situations (personal and work).

Summary: Easy to read and effective
Review: When I was about 15 years old I read the arabic translation of "How to win friends". This book, "How to enjoy yor life", is a selection of chapters from the abovementioned book and from "How to stop worrying and start living". Dale Carnegie's style is very simple and he conveys a deep understanding of human nature. The book was easy to read and hosted a large number of ideas on how to lead a more effective life; none of the ideas are revolutionary, they are simply common sense practices that we fail to implement on a daily basis.
