Summary: I wish I had read this books years ago
Review: This book is about common sense. It is a very simple read with a principle summarizing each chapter. In my life I have always approached things head on. I make logical arguments stating what I know as fact. While I may be right, I am not always persuasive. What this book has taught me is that being right is not the end all, and is threatening to those who do not agree. The book gives tips of how to build consensus, and how to persuade without being argumentative or adversarial.

Summary: IT CHANGED MY LIFE -- TWO THUMBS UP!!
Review: I believe that Dale's book should be a requirement for students in high school. It is a wonderful piece of literature that teaches the common person how to make themselves stand out in a crowd. It has helped me to become a much better person and be able to relate to others in a way that I could not do before I read the book. In my opinion it is the most important book that anyone can ever read. I am now more confident in dealing with others and have a unique skill of making friends with anyone. I love it and find that others often wonder how I am so good at it and want to know my secret. I tell them to read the book and rest will take care of itself. I always talk in terms of what the other person wants and try to let them do most of the talking.Dale covers these topics in great detail in HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE. It has helped to change my life and I hope others take my advice and let it be a tool for change in their lives.

Summary: The Most Valuable Book You Could Ever Read!
Review: I found this book was on a store display and recognized the title. I wasn't even looking to buy a book. As I peaked inside at the contents I thought, "Mabey this could help me in my business." It appealed to me because I have been aware for many years that something in my life wasn't right. I had a hard time making friends and dealing with people in general. I didn't really know how to talk to people that I just met or saw only occasionally. I consider myself above average in intelligence and not bad looking. But for some reason, not long after I met people, they lost interest in greeting me the next time I saw them. When I began to read this book I began to find the answers. The more I read, the more excited I became. This is truly a masterpiece on how to make friends and influence others. It is filled with examples and inspirational experiences of others. This book will make you more friends and money than you could imagine and will help you with your spouse and children as well. If you don't get anything from this book you're either Divine or dead!

Summary: Think twice before spending your money
Review: This is a very selfish book with the potential to be damaging. In very grounded, seemingly common sense language, it tells you how to manipulate people for your own ends rather than treating people fairly and as ends in themselves. And even if that alone isn't enough to discourage you from reading this book, I very much doubt the techniques work. People are not so easily fooled.

Summary: It has withstood the test of time...
Review: I'm a dentist. I've always been praised for my "people skills, chairside manner, etc." even though I'm very new to my profession. I found that this book has made me a better doc for two reasons. One, I sincerely listen to and appreciate my coworkers more and secondly, I'm told that my patients find me even more attentive to their needs, which is what dentistry is all about. It's by far the best book I've ever read and I've recommended it to a few close friends along with How To Stop Worrying and Start Living. I'm a better person for having discovered the works of Mr. Carnegie

Summary: Doing unto others as you would be done by
Review: A terrific manual of good, old-fashioned horse sense of doing unto others as you would be done by-- and how that can turn that into a veritable goldmine. Dale Carnegie's time-honored hints and helps date back to the Bible and show that it's not about fakery and schmoozing--dealing with people is a subtle art and science that you can master if you look at others with the heart; not just with an agenda.

Summary: Look at things from the customer's point-of-view vs yours
Review: Dale Carnegie's book changed how I think a little. He explained the real value in looking at things from the customer's point-of-view vs mine. He basically said that praise raises and uplifts while criticism kills and gums up the machinery. He said that most men and women are motivated by a set of motives which are not generally taught in the public educational system or from the preacher's pulpit as being the real motives behind what lots of people do. He explained human nature to me and allowed me to get along with all sorts of people a little better. I thank God for Dale Carnegie's honesty and his insights into the gift of empathy. He was a very smart man. I have used some of his techniques on occasion and they do indeed work.

Summary: The Manual for humankind
Review: This book was suggested to me as I was having trouble with my business. Hated the title, but what I found on the pages inside was nothing short of answers to not only succeed with my business, but to enjoy my life and the people in my life more than ever before.
