    The Book I Thought I Was Too Good For

    Since this book has been around since 1936, I thought everything in it would be common sense by now; I was expecting a bunch of abstract bullet points repeating the same lessons I'd already heard a hundreds times from other sources.

    I was wrong.

    Rarely does a book age so well after 84 years. All of the stories and examples are amusingly antiquated, but the underlying principles of human-interaction contained herein have remained remarkably constant from Lincoln's Civil-War era to today's Snapchat era. Ironically, the people of today view themselves as so educated and enlightened and morally superior to their grandparent's generation, but they're quite mistaken; in a lot of ways, our internet-culture society of today has moved in the exact opposite direction from the principles of respect and civility taught in this book.

    In short: there's a lot everyone can learn from this book. Please read it. It'll help make you a better person. Thanks.

    Good rules to live and lead by

    The book might feel a bit old in the way It's told or with the examples it tells, but It's nevertheless a fine book. A lotof it feels obvious, but most of us never live by it. I think It's absolutely a must read.

    Highly Recommend

    Enough has been said about the high quality of this book that I can only add my hearty endorsement of its content. Regardless of your age, profession, or station in life, you should read this book. Period.

    This is also one of those examples where the narrator perfectly matches the text. His rich, hearty voice comes across as the voice of Dale Carnegie. It is enthusiastic, emotional, and humorous as appropriate to the message. It was so pleasant to hear that I would be willing to listen to other books narrated by him regardless of the contents of the works themselves.
