Summary: Do Your Homework and Buy the Product First!
Review: There is about a hundred references to Dale Carnegie in this book. First, you need to buy "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. Or you will be very confused. Then you have to use the techniques and discover if this sort of product is for you. If it is, then buy "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" by Dale Carnegie. Then try those techniques. If both these books are your cup of tea, then buy this book. It goes beyond these two books with plenty examples of Carnegie's tecniques for success in a more technological atmosphere. Goals are a big thing in this book. The one main criticism of this book is that it doesn't deal with character. What Stephen Covey, the management expert, calls "truncating the character base." This is based on the idea that you have to be a good guy and gal in order to succeed. This book does not deal with the moral structure of a leader. Positive thinking, goal imagery, ethusiasm -- these and other elements of leadership are dealt with. Lying and manipulation are not dealt with in any true fashion. Thank you.

Summary: Excellent training material
Review: This book is an excellent training tool for the new supervisor. Far too many people are placed in a supervisory position with a five minute ceremony called "the promotion", yet they are never taught HOW to supervise people. If you want to teach the people responsible for motivating others on how to motivate, how to treat their staff and colleagues, and how to get along in today's business world, this is a great book.

Summary: How To Win Friends & Influence People modernized
Review: This is a re-write of Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Stuart Levin, the CEO of Dale Carnegie and Associates, Inc. Unfortunately, the new book is an empty shell of the original -- it's already dated, although it was published in 1993, while the original, first published in the 1930's, is as fresh and as relevant as it was the day it was first printed. Recommend skipping this lesser imitation and sticking with the original.
