Amazon.com Review
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as it was when it was first published, because Dale Carnegie had an understanding of human nature that will never be outdated.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

 How to win Friends and influence people July 21, 2010

Dale Carnegie has a way with people. After reading and applying this book on leadership, you too will have a way with people. If you have a desire to understand how to become the best boss you can be and have everyone want to work with you, these are the principles that will get you to that point. "How to Win Friends and Influence People," is the best book that I have read that helps you understand and influence people that you come across in every aspect of your life.
This book could be used as a textbook in school if you were studying human behavior and how to deal with day to day confrontations that you face in life. Reading through the book, you will be best suited to read through a chapter, and throughout the next week, you go through and apply that chapter in your life. To get, fully, everything that you can learn from the principles of the book, you absolutely need to apply the things that are taught in the book. One of the things that is taught is to listen to people. The principle that is taught is to listen "genuinely." You can go through and read this book and get what you are suppose to do, but everything is genuinely done and not just going through the motions.
Carnegie also goes through stories, personal experiences, and how other readers have implemented the principles into their lives and businesses. By having these stories to compare to your life and circumstances, you are better prepared and enabled to implement the principles taught into your life. Most of the examples are off highly successful people in the world, thus it provides the book to be more value and credible. The mixture of stories, principles, and how to apply what is being taught is very balanced and shows no weaknesses to me.
If you are looking for a textbook, that reads like a novel, that will help you in your people skills, leadership, and day to day contact with people; look no further than, "How to Win Friends and Influence People." Because this book is a short read and easy to read, it is the perfect book for those of us with little attention span, but have a desire to become better than we are. It is a must read for everyone that talks with anyone, it is simple that good.
wrong edition July 16, 2010

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. SOmeone borrowed my dear copy and must have liked it very much. They didn't return it. I tried using Dale's methods, but to no avail. So I ordered an original on line from Amazon. Sadly, I received the revised edition. It is good; I read it, but it is not the same. The changes irk me. I had read the original so many times. It just isn't comfortable. I really would like very much to acquire an original edition.
Thanks,
Moshe Kamin
This should be a book that high school students are forced to read July 16, 2010

There are several things that would improve the educational system in the united states that would take minimal effort in terms of administrative change/cost.
Forcing this one to be read would be one of them.

This is a great book on tape. I hate reading, and so I listen to the cds in the car. Very informative book, tries to get you to think in a new perspective. Definitely need to listen to it again. Would definitely recommend this product.
One of the best classic! July 13, 2010
