    Previous Edition but interesting content

    It is easiest to listen to this in sections. I'll reread this & take notes.

    Lives up to it's reputation

    Terrific book. Carnegie maps out exactly what the title suggests. What makes the book so timeless and effective is that the book jumps back and forth between high-level theory of human nature and concrete examples in the real world of how individuals interact and influence each other. Several examples stick out. One is Carnegie's repeated explanation that a person is better able to win the confidence of another by talking about that other person rather than themselves. Additional examples include the famed Daniel Webster's means of softening legal arguments by framing them as suggestions rather than forceful bundles of logic: another details the deflection of anticipated conflict with a police officer following a minor violation by immediately confessing to wrongdoing when defensiveness would be expected. There are innumerable additional practical examples such as these which make abstract but crucial psychological principles more concrete by providing everyday instances of human interactions, and these show why Carnegie's timeless methods are so effective.
