Great book with ideas that anyone can benefit from.
This was a great book. I come from a technical background, and as most people know engineers are horrible at influencing others. But this book taught me a lot of simple ideas that are applicable in helping to motivate others to my point of view and also how to recognize when others are using these techniques and how to defend against them. The book has 6 different concepts and it goes into ...

Keep on Fighting!
Another good one by Braad Thor. I never really liked the Troll but alas he is still in play. I don't fully empathize with Scot Harvath'ss feelings about the wee one. Anyway, the good guys get some of the bad guys...ut not all of them!

Saved my life
I never hit the bottom and I never drank in the morning and I never missed work, yet this book clarifies this baffling disease. It resonated with me and struck such a deep chord, I know I can never drink again. This moderation management stuff is bull dinky. This book explains the progressive nature and sneakiness of this disease. I'll never understand with my brain this disease anymore than ...

The saying what you don't know could hurt you is true.
I do a fair amount of public speaking and just dealing with people. When you know what you want to say and are able to say it confidently and with conviction it makes a big difference in the way it is received.

Bean Counters --- Currency IS important
This book is excellent in content. There are so many pressures that cause people to behave certain ways in organizations. Everyone has their expectations and currency (teeth in the game) that drives their working relationships with others. After reading this book, I understood the behaviors of others I've worked with. Culture, expectations of the boss, possible promotions, etc. really do ...

Brilliant, Important Book

On the basis of a number of questionable policies over the past 15 years, they note, "the United States has half-consciously re-shaped its economy. The country shifted some 7 percent of its GDP out of manufacturing and added some 7 percent of GDP in the expansion of finance, insurance, and ...

wrong edition
I consider myself a student of Dale Carnegie. Many years ago I purchased a box of the original How to Win Friends in soft cover. Over the years, I gave some to friends and/or my own students. Lo and behold, I couldn't find any. I purchased the How to Win Freinds that was in the stores. Much to my chagrin, it was revised. Finally, I found an original in a used book store in New Haven, CT. ...

Great Book, Especially this time of Year
I'm writing this just at the end of the 2006 elections. I can't imagine how many millions were spent trying to persuade me that this candidate or that question on the ballot should be my choice. I'm astounded at how many phone calls I've received from Laura Bush, or that candidate who just wants to set the record straight about the lies her opponnent has been telling about her. And then there are ...

Beyond the Influence
Even though I thought I knew a lot about this subject, when I read this book, I realized how little I really knew. It is written in a very easy to read manner, yet contains so much valuable information. I strongly encourage anyone who has any contact with alcoholics to read this book. I think it is mandatory reading for all therapists.

Good advice for the young and old!
This book gives good advice for REAL situations that are often encountered. The advice is good in that it encourages girls to "let it go" rather than holding a grudge, explains how to keep the peace with their parents, and is chock full of good examples. The advice is geared more towards teen situations (or tweens) but is good advice to anyone!

ON POINT! Well Worth it.....
Great book, it gets going quick and is a fun read. It remindes me of when I was in school for video production, the instructor told us all your never going to watch movies the same again. It's true If I see bad lighting or an intresting camera angle it takes me out of the movie and thinking more "behind the sceans". Now conversations are the same, I practice on everyone with out them knowing and ...
