How To Win Friends and Influence People Review

This is a really good book if you want to know how to get along with people. Unlike other reviews on this here some of this info can be used in personal relationships not just business.

The whole theme of this book is make this person feel important. Treat them how you would like to be treated. Be interested in them, do not condemn them.

I suggest reading this book with a highlighter and some flag post its. In the beginning they say you should read each chapter twice, but this book is way to boring to do so. It is a good book, but Dale uses way to many examples. BORING ONES! Which is why I rate this a 4 star not a 5.

This book can be written in about 150 or less pages if was not for those tedious examples. He uses about 3-5 examples each chapter making scream to your self SHUT UP I GET IT! So that is why I say use a high lighter. As you read threw all these examples a hint or two comes up on how to influence people and why. To bad he did not mention not to bore people.

Over all it is a good book, just to many examples. Luckily I did use a highlighter and flags to go back to the book when I need it.

And yes my relationship with people did grow. I use to be a guy that will cut people off while talking, argue till I am right pretty much the exact opposite of this book. Give people the upper hand when conversating with some one, do more listing than talking.

And that is it in nutshell.

How To Win Friends and Influence People Overview

How to Win Friends and Influence People is the first, and still the finest, book of its kind. One of the best-known motivational books in history, Dale Carnegie's groundbreaking work has sold millions of copies, has been translated into almost every known written language, and has helped countless people succeed in both their business and personal lives.

First published in 1937, Carnegie's advice has remained relevant for generations because he addresses timeless questions about the fine art of getting along with people: How can you make people like you instantly? How can you persuade people to agree with you? How can you speak frankly to people without giving offense? The ability to read others and successfully navigate any social situation is critically important to those who want to get a job, keep a job, or simply expand their social network.

The core principles of this book, originally written as a practical, working handbook on human relations, are proven effective. Carnegie explains the fundamentals of handling people with a positive approach; how to make people like you and want to help you; how to win people to your way of thinking without conflict; and how to be the kind of leader who inspires quality work, increased productivity, and high morale.

As Carnegie explains, the majority of our success in life depends on our ability to communicate and manage personal relationships effectively, whether at home or at work. How to Win Friends and Influence People will help you discover and develop the people skills you need to live well and prosper.

How To Win Friends and Influence People Specifications

This grandfather of all people-skills books was first published in 1937. It was an overnight hit, eventually selling 15 million copies. How to Win Friends and Influence People is just as useful today as it was when it was first published, because Dale Carnegie had an understanding of human nature that will never be outdated. Financial success, Carnegie believed, is due 15 percent to professional knowledge and 85 percent to "the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among people." He teaches these skills through underlying principles of dealing with people so that they feel important and appreciated. He also emphasizes fundamental techniques for handling people without making them feel manipulated. Carnegie says you can make someone want to do what you want them to by seeing the situation from the other person's point of view and "arousing in the other person an eager want." You learn how to make people like you, win people over to your way of thinking, and change people without causing offense or arousing resentment. For instance, "let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers," and "talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person." Carnegie illustrates his points with anecdotes of historical figures, leaders of the business world, and everyday folks. --Joan Price
