 Simple but ProfoundSep 05, 2010
I read it over 25 years ago and it still influences me. Stunningly simple, but extremely profound. Tremendous insight into basic human psychology.
-- Doug Warshauer, Author of If I'm So Smart Where Did All My Money Go: Balancing Your Financial Objectives for Lasting Wealth
 Good - But its how you read the bookAug 25, 2010
This is a good book, but a lot of the techniques are now common knowledge. It actually says the techniques 'work like magic,' which I believe is just marketing. I stopped reading the book because it said do not criticize, it is futile. While too much is bad, it is not entirely futile. Depending on your personality type, the first three chapters could potentially make you lose yourself in trying to please and not offend others.
Later, I tried re-reading the book and realized that near the end of the book, the author offers ways to constructively criticize.
Each chapter ends with principles (ie 1. Don't criticize, condemn or complain.) You will get the most out of this book if you find the principle for each chapter BEFORE you read the chapter. Then you will get the general idea of where the chapter is headed.
Also because people have a remarkable ability to adapt, some of the principles should be used with discretion. For instance when correcting someone, it says to 'begin with praise' and call attention to mistakes indirectly. If you always start with praise it loses its effect and people begin to expect reprimanding after praise. Sometimes its better to end with praise instead.
In short, this is a good book but only follow the principles as a guideline instead of literally. And if you skim the principles before you read the chapters and act on the information it will make a difference in your life.

Dale Carnegie's "How to win friends and influence people" is a great book on human relations. Everything you read in this book is still very credible even in these turbulent times we're in. I recommend this book for anyone who struggles with dealing with people, making friends, and getting what they want from people. It's good reading for everyone and has definite valuable information!
Great BookAug 17, 2010
This is the best book I have read with regards to personal behavior. I intend to continue to study and apply the lessons I learn from book in both my business and personal life.
If You Want To Change for The Better, This is MUST Read Book!Aug 16, 2010
I had heard so much about this book for so long that I finally purchased a copy to find out for myself what all the talk was about. Well, to say that I have discovered it for myself does not do justice. You have to read it for yourself!
How To Win Friends & Influence People goes to the heart of who we are, why each one of us is important, and how being a genuine person can help us achieve all we want in life. This book takes you back to the heart of being a caring and compassionate human being that is demonstrated in all you do, whether in your business or personal life. It makes for building strong, solid relationships in all areas of your life that will last for a long time.
I am so glad I finally stopped and picked up my copy!
