 This book is not what it seems to be! March 25, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Apart from the title of this book, it is really great. I had several reactions from people when reading it, all negative. So what is it with this title? Actually, it is really 'How to sell with a bad title'. That's where our reviews come to the rescue!
This book is all about why people behave the way they do and what make friendships work. There are no shortcuts in friendship and although influence can be bought with money, this is not what this book is about.
So what is this book about? It's about opening your eyes to reality and understanding why we make friends and have influence. When you understand this, it certainly makes making friends and having influence easier. It does not guarantee, however, that you eventually have friends and influence.
Dale Carnegie's writings are fun and learnsome to read and are a really good help to anyone who wants to improve himself in having friends and influence. Let's hope I make you my friend when you read the book because of this review!
This book is one of the best books ever read March 24, 2008

I read this book over 10 years ago and I have not found a better book on effective communications than this one.
The book is very precise in its advice, it goes straight to key issues in communications and really gives great advice in how to better relate to people and communicate more effectively, so you become a better communicator, get more people to colaborate with you and also become more polite.
This book was written in 1930's and I think is still the best book in the communications area so far. It is not a book just for people in the corporate world. This book is for anyone who has to relate to other human being: Husband, children, family members, boss, coworkers.
Sincere appreciation or flattery? March 22, 2008
There is such a thing as sincere appreciation of another's good qualities and letting the person know it. This what Dale Carnegie had in mind.
On the other hand, you can flatter and take flattery too far. This is the usual criticism of this book. But that would in most cases be better than getting into an angry argument with a person or group. We have to get along with people, with our families, with our neighbors and in the business world.
A Classic. March 20, 2008
There isnt too much to say other than this book is great. Very wise. Good values etc.
What happened to America? To produce such wisdom and now... It's laughable to even compare Abe Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin to current president, george w. bush(low caps on purpose).
BTW, there is more to this book than the title leads people to believe.
Must read by anyone dealing with people March 12, 2008

What can I say that hasn't already been said about this book. If you are in sales or have any kind of position where you deal with people you really need this. I put off reading it for many years because I thought I knew how to handle people. Boy was I surprised!
