Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great book on interpersonal relations.
Review: I read this book several times. It's the best book I've read on the subject. Its most important feature is its combination of well formulated principles and carefully selected life stories. These stories well illustrate the principles and also make the book very interesting to read. Its style is like "tell stories, make a point". It's recommended for everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Each chapter ends with a principle
Review: One of my all-time favorite books. I've read it about 10 times. It's fun to read because it is full of stories and illustrations, sometimes of famous people. And each chapter ends with a principle. The principle is short enough to remember and is always action-oriented. And the application of the principles DO make a difference in my dealings with others.

Sometimes this book is criticized as simplistic or manipulative. It is simple, and it could be used to manipulate people, but it is a highly practical book, and the principles can also be used to help you treat people the way you would like to be treated. When you do that, people go out of their way to be nice to you. That's basic, good human relations. This book has been around so long because nothing else has ever come along that does the job so well.

Another really good book is Adam Khan's "Self-Help Stuff That Works." (Youme Works; ISBN: 0962465674). That book has great references and he uses the same chapter ending principle style as Carnegie! You won't find it at the bookstore, but you will find it here.

Summary: Marvelous
Review: Dale Carnegie is a great writer. He gave a lot of examples for us to really understand what he meant. Furthermore this book also teaches us how we suppose to behave towards people so we can make people like us and want to be our friends. I read the book twice and it is still very interesting. This book can do a lot more in your life when you are really trying to apply it in your real life. Again, great book!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best book I have honestly ever read.
Review: Carnegie's book is a classic. It teaches one lessons in life that are not taught at any school or university. He focuses purely on the psychology of people and how we interact and respond to one another. He has studied people such as Lincoln, Roosevelt and Charles Schwab in great depth and draws from them the very essence of what made them legendary leaders of our time. You will learn how to make people respond to you in an extremely positive and enthusiastic way. You will learn how to give praise, curb critizism and avoid arguments with your fellow man. You will learn how to influence people to your way of thinking without them realizing it. He uses numerous examples of social interactions that have occured in his and other's lives and instructs you on how you could apply them to your life. The lessons are timeless and have been in practice well before Christ. If you are seeking knowledge about how to best manage people, improve business relationships or simply to improve yourself as a person - then you can do far worse than to read this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's one of the BEST classic social skills book!!
Review: I have read the book several times and enjoy it very much. The techniques taught on this book are just amazing... the only challenge I find is to apply them on a regular-basis to guerantee success. However, this is a MUST-READ for all.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: THIS BOOK ENABLES ME TO MAKE BEST FRIENDS WHICH I WANT FOR MY BETTER LIFE & MAKE ME BETTER SPEAKER IN A GROUP, ONE OF THE BEST ENTERTAINING PERSON TO EVERYONE.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: This book is terrific! Never do I tire of reading it. Every time I read it I learn something new. This book is for everyone, not just people in the business world. This book will help everyone who reads it. A must read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent review of basic concepts in people skill
Review: It is an excellent book which summarised all the important people skills that you need everyday. Considering this book was written in the 1937 and it is still a big seller after all these years, it is a proof without doubt. On the down side of it, since the book itself is pretty old, most of the story & people in the book are strangers to this generation. However, this is still highly valuable to read and most importantly to practise.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Classic about social skills
Review: A must read classic for social skill training. However, this book is written in the 30's. Readers should be cautious: This book is nothing scientific & has nothing to do with psychology. Anyway, considering its price, it is truely a bargain; also it is fun and easy to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS book is fabulous...
Review: I've heard of this book for such a long time now, but it was only 3 months ago that I actually got to reading this book. I didn't know what to expect, but I will tell you the opinion I was left with: This book is an absolute favorite of mine and I really wish others who are considering this book would check it out and find this book for themselves. It provides insights on how to produce the WIN-WIN situation (you win, and your partner or co-worker wins). Another thing this book has instilled in me is to know that it's cool to admit your mistakes; I'm not always correct on every issue and sometimes I screw up. That's ok, and it's good to admit your mistakes rather than stick to your idea and never think a person can be wrong now and then. I recommend this book, and I wish people would check it out. Thanks.
