Summary: You Don't need another book on EQ. This is THE one!
Review: I originally got interested in the subject because of the publicity of Goleman's book, Emotional Intelligence. I found that book way to technical and theorectical. In direct contrast, Dale Carnegie writes in a simple language without any sort of technical jargon and illustrated his points with real-life examples. I've yet to find a better book on EQ.

Summary: An easy to read, amazing self-help book for all ages.
Review: Amazingly,61 years after its first pubilication, How to Win Friends and Influence People is just as if not more useful today as it was then. Dale Carnegie focuses on how to make people feel important as well as how to refrain from making others feel incompetent or wrong. Carnegie also gives a detailed list of six ways to make people like you. I honestly read this book, tried out the principles, and found that I was making more friends and strengthening the relationships with the friends I already had. This book is fit for any age and can realistically help improve one's life in the facets of family life, personal relationships, and business practices.

Summary: Changed my life--Yet remember the character ethic.
Review: This book was passed to me in a series of circumstances that I would call divine. I was down in a low point of my life, and this book ministered to me at that time.It really changed my life. People said that I really changed. I grew more confident in my relationships with people, I learned "how" to love people. Yet, after 7 years, I like to add that there is more to this. Do the action, but remember the principle behind it. Smiling, getting to know people, do not criticise or judge, is the "how". But the "why" is because you love them. This book is what Stephen Covey calls the personality ethic. However, it shouldn't be discounted away. The personality & character ethic go hand in hand. Character must come first; change must be internal, then change your personality on the outside to show others what is happening inside. This is a book on the "How". I recommend reading the Bible on the "Why" I still believe that it is a fantastic book, but always remember to do the things advised sincerely and from the heart, not to manipulate people.

Summary: Changed my life.
Review: There is only one word to discribe this book "OUTSTANDING". This book really makes you think about the way people act and why they act that way. It made me start thinking before I speak and listen when someone else is talking.

Summary: One of the Best
Review: I have read and re-read this book about 10 times and continue to learn new things with every reading. As you get older you tend to see things a little differently and your perspective changes with each reading. If you enjoy this book I also suggest you look at NEVER BE LIED TO AGAIN by Lieberman. Like Carnegie he offers useful ideas and ways to better relate to others and teaches you how to avoid being manipulated and used by them as well.

Summary: The Greatest Impact on my Life, second only to the Bible!
Review: FANTASTIC!!! This book was given to me as a gift when I was 22 years old and it changed my life! I was a 22 year old manager of a retail store attempting to do my best to motivate and lead my "troops" by example. All would admit that no one worked harder than I, arrived any earlier than I or was willing to invest as much time as I did. Despite the intent and even the eventual success my stores would ultimately achieve, their seemed to always be about a 5 to 6 month "lag" time before the stores would really take off. This book helped me find the answer in myself! I had attempted to direct and motivate sales people by working hard as the example and then fear and intimidation for the rest. That was my mistake!!! No wonder I would have tremendously poor retention of ones who may have been my best employess. It was either "change your people or change your people". I was changing ones who were not a fanatic like I was....... Changing them right out the door! What a terrible waste! This book made so much common sense, that it aided me to eliminate that "lag" time. Since, I have given this book to dozens of others too. Even my own children have the a copy and I require them to read this book. Not to take anything away from God's word the Bible, but this book like the Bible, provides a pathway for Life! This book has had a rippling affect for many people just from my mutliple times I have read it. Today, 21 years later I still espouse the value and wisdom Dale Carnegie was able to share with us. I still use it's precepts in the methodology of my training with great success. I encourage everyone, please....... read this book again and again.-Daniel Maisel - GTE National Sales Trainer

Summary: Beware of this book, and DO NOT recommend it to others
Review: Please be cautious about reading this book, and make sure you read it with a critical eye. I first read this book when I was 14, and thought it was the greatest book I'd ever read. I believed in everything it said and applied it in my daily life. The principles appeared to work for a short time, however in the long run they DO NOT WORK, and lead to years of misery and suffering! This book has ruined my life for the past 15 years, I wish I never read it, and I wish I could unlearn it. I was not critical of books when I was 14, and I believed the principles in this book would work. They do for the short term, and then they backfire! You must read this book with a critical eye, or it will ruin you; and please don't read it to children, because it will ruin their lives too.
