Rating: Summary: Must Read Review: This book is based on solid timeless principles and tells us what is required so as to get along with others well. We need to meet people everyday once we left our home. However, it is a difficult philosophy to handle the relationship well and to build a good relationship with others. So, in this book, Dale Carnegie teaches us many applicable principles to handle people in suitable and nice ways. I like the second part of this book very much. It tells us how to make people like us. The principles to make a good impression are to give a simple smile, to recall others¡¦ name and to be a good listener. I think these principles are simple, but extremely good. Since meeting people is unavoidable matter throughout our life, it is a must for us to learn how to win friends and influence people in order to make our life more beautiful via having good relationship with others. So, I highly recommend you to read this book as soon as possible.

Rating: Summary: Great book Mr. Carnegie. Review: A friend of mine just got me started in a network marketing company. I asked his upline what is the best way to get my business started off quickly. And he said, "people--you need to go out and meet people." I was ready to quit. Nobody I knew would be a good candidate for a business and meeting new people and approaching them on a business opportunity scared the heck out of me. He suggested that I read How To Win Friends and Influence People and that this book would teach me what I needed to know to develop the ability to positively influence other people. Cool. I read the book and it worked. I overcame my fears and created a great downline. Now I am recommending How To Win Friends and Influence People to everyone I know. By the way, I also overcame my fear of public speaking and am conducting both business presentations and trainings for my reps. The book is great. I highly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: The first and the best self help program Review: I have to admit that people skills were never my strongpoint. While I had no problem making friends, my problem was handling problem people and taking a leadership role. I read the book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" many times. It made all the difference in human relations and I made the transition to a people person to the point where I can handle anybody and have developed strong leadership skills. While the book is great, I really enjoy the cd's. Nice 8 pack that helps to reinforce the material while driving around. Great program. Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" was the first and best self help book. In my opinion it is still the best.
Rating: Summary: Apply the principles by your own way Review: It's one of the best books I've ever read. He pointed out nearly every way to "win friends and influence people". Althought he made good points and use appropriate examples to illustrate, some of these too specific examples are not up-to-date. If we imitate the way those characters in his example acted, it may be awkward. Fortunately, he did give 9 suggestions to get most out of this book, which always encourage you to apply these principles by your own way. Therefore what we need to do is: (1) follow the principles (2)read the examples to understand the principles (3) forget the example and learn by heart only the principles (4) apply the principles by your own way.
