highly recommended

Will help you

I think this book is very simple, slightly repetitious, but with some extremely helpful ideas. Some of the ideas are so true and straightforward I wondered how I came so far without really hearing them explicitly stated. This isn't exactly life changing, but it might be relationship enhancing. Worth the buy.

Short on lecturing and long on stories and examples. Great!!!

Don't let the title fool you - this isn't a book about how to manipulate people into liking you and doing what you want. It's a manual for how to deal effectively with people, and it's probably one of the most important books you'll ever read.

If you don't like to read I highly recommend the book on CD - it is really well done, pleasant to listen too (remember, long on interesting and inspiring stories and examples of the principles at work), and best of all tremendously convenient. I listen to it in the car 30 mins/day and I get through the whole book in two weeks without having to carve out any time in my day.

The book is written in a loose, easy style that is a pleasure to read in either long sittings or quick bites. It short on lecturing and long on stories and examples of how great people such as Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Carnegie, Theodore Roosevelt, and everyday people like you and I, have used these principles to succeed.

By the way, I'm also big fan of Horatio Alger and all his Rags to Riches novels. The application of influence and proper communication is the essence in most his stories. I'm sure you'll have a richening experience with these other books. It's almost like Dale Carnegie inspired Mr. Alger:
Joe the Hotel Boy: A Classic Rags to Riches Story!
Luke Walton: A Classic Rags to Riches Story!
Making His Way: Frank Courtney's Struggle Upward
Paul Prescott's Charge: A Classic Rags to Riches Story!
Paul the Peddler: The Fortunes of a Young Street Merchant

This ought to be taught in all schools and universities.

I found it easy to read, but because it is packed with ideas, I keep it on my shelf because I tend to forget certain things. But, practice makes perfect. I just loved this book and I think that more people should read it. I never heard anyone say that this book is not valuable.

I've first picked this book up when I was 18 and since, I consider it to be the best book ever written. Basic principles of human relations do exist, and yet who ever teaches them to you? In my judgement the principles outlined in Carnegie's book are so critical that they ought to be taught in all schools and universities and be required reading for anyone in any profession that has to work with people. That's why I make it required reading for any of my staff who are in supervisory positions.

I've also come accross Horation Alger novels long before I bought this book. I was amazed by how almost all of Carnegie's principles are applied in each story. Each one unique and incredibly inspirational:

Adrift in New York: Tom and Florence Braving the World
Bound to Rise: A Classic Rags to Riches Story!
The Cash Boy: A Classic Rags to Riches Story!
Cast Upon the Breakers: A Classic Rags to Riches Story!
Chester Rand: The New Path to Fortune

ok book

I read this book but not sure how much it helped me. I did learn a few things on how to treat people to make them feel important.

A book that will be around for ages.

This book, published in 1937, is a classic and has inspired thousands of imitators and followers down through to motivational speakers and other modern day purveyors of advice. Why not read the original? Many of the lessons in these pages seem obvious and common sense but there lies the beauty: Carnegie challenges us to act on the obvious insights and implement the realizations in our daily lives. Strategies are spelled out in a straight-forward manner and numerous examples are shown.

It's unlike any other book and will be around for ages, contains tips on how to conduct ourselves and influence people. It is not so much about how to make people do things that we want them to do, but how to make them want to do it themselves. If you were to read this book alone and nothing else in your lifetime, you would still become outrageously successful person just by following the principles outlined in it. Dale Carnegie's magnificent creation is something I recommend to anyone who's looking for success in life, business and relationships.

And yes, Horatio Alger may indeed have the best Rags to Riches stories in his many classic novels, and here are a few more:
Phil the Fiddler: A Classic Rags to Riches Story!
Randy of the River: The Adventures of a Young Deckhand
Slow and Sure: The Story of Paul Hoffman the Young Street-Merchant
The Young Bank Messenger: A Classic Rags to Riches Story!
Young Captain Jack: The Son of a Soldier
Ballads: Wonderful poems from the master of success fiction.
