Rating: Summary: Fundamentals Never Change Review: My father lent me his copy of this book in the late 1960s. Then, I read it with the skeptical mind of a high school student. I thought it was a good, but not great book. Recently, I picked it up and read it again. I realized that I had subconsciously stored away many of Dale Carnegie's timeless observations and found that I have been applying many (but not all) of his techniques for the past twenty some years. This time, his clear explanation of interpersonal techniques using real examples, really hit my HOT BUTTON. I purchased several copies of this book for Christmas presents and made sure that the first two went to my wife and teen-aged son.
Rating: Summary: Very helpful suggestions for raising children. Review: After reading this book, I find myself using alot of the techniques in situations I find myself in while trying to raise my two children, ages 10 and 6
Rating: Summary: I liked the book and found it most useful. Review: How to Win Friends and Influence people is the most useful book I have read in quite a while. Carnegie uses anecdotes
about famous historical figures to get his point accross and
show his techniques at work. Since finishing this book, I find myself using Carnegie's techniques in everyday life with
great success.
Rating: Summary: A truly amazing book Review: Somethings in life our crucial, and being able to work and accociate well with people is a very improtant quality. There are few people who actually can work well with other, but this book teaches you how. And not only does this book specifically teach you how, it gives you examples of how to apply its messages through really short stories about really interesting people
Rating: Summary: Great recommendation Amazon! Review: I've read this book before and knew it was great, so I had to get a copy on the re-release. AND I was pleasantly surprised by Amazon's recommendation, The Emotional Intelligence Quickbook as a pairing. The Quickbook could be the "How to Win" for this century!
Rating: Summary: Success is Timeless Review: Originally published in 1937 in an edition of only 5,000 copies, How to Win Friends and Influence People is without a doubt our favorite book of all time. In fact, it is annual required reading for our staff, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. This is not a book that you struggle through once and put away, because it's lessons are timeless. Each time you read it you will pick up on something new that you can apply to your everyday life immediately. Learn fundamental techniques for handling people, ways to make people like you, winning people over to your way of thinking, and how to be a leader. This book has remained a best-seller for over 60 years, sold more than 45 million copies, and been translated into almost every known written language. Written in friendly down-to-earth language, it reads more like a story than the "How To Be Successful" encyclopedia it is.
Rating: Summary: 10 stars for this one! Review: When it comes to social skills, this book says it all. No need to look any further than this classic. To learn emotional and mental mastery and making the most of any situation, then Optimal Thinking: How To Be Your Best Self is your best choice. To learn how to deal with change, read Who Moved My Cheese. These resources give you all you need to be your best, get along with others and bring out the best from them.
Rating: Summary: It won me over. Review: Just a joy to read, this book is truly a classic. With its timeless stories the author uses to illustrate the principles of getting along with others, this book should be requires reading for all human beings. Other self-help books I liked include "The No-Beach, No-Zone, No-Nonsense Weight Loss Plan, A Pocket Guide To What Works."
Rating: Summary: so much to teach Review: This is an excellent book with much to teach. The book on tape version is even better: listen to it over and over again for the techniques to sink in.
Rating: Summary: The Father of it all Review: Mr. Carnegie's books continue to stand the test of time. This book, as well as "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" serve as wonderfully effective tools for the reader. The ideas put forth in his books are nothing new. He states the obvious. But like any good coach, he tells you what you already know in such a way that helps you to act upon it. There is no author or self-help guru out there who can provide you with a more natural or common sense approach to these issues. James Green, author of "If There's One Thing I've Learned."
