    I can't believe I waited this long!

    If you could sum up How to Win Friends & Influence People in three words, what would they be?

    How to lead!

    Who was your favorite character and why?

    No characters to have a favorite from. I however liked the nuggets of wisdom from Charles Schwab.

    What about Andrew MacMillan’s performance did you like?

    The reading was worthy of the book. Elite book read by an elite performer. The tone matched the content.

    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    The quality of this book left me stunned.

    Any additional comments?

    This is the first time I'm reviewing a book, ever. On here, Kindle or amazon.com. I read a lot but I don't leave feedback. This book however is so good I felt I would be doing the world a disservice if I don't leave feedback. I have already started using the suggestions and they're yielding results. For example, I was in a staff meeting yesterday where one of my colleagues was adamant she had sent me a reminder about some client follow up. That wasn't true. I knew it, she knew it. I however remembered the principle of letting the other person save face, so I just said after a bit of back and forth, "I may have missed it in my mail, I'll check after this meeting". In my past, I'd never have done that. I wouldn't have let go. I was right and I would have wanted her to admit I was right. But to what end? It'd only leave her feeling embarrassed and waste my time in argument with her. This book is a life changer.

    Great ideas and information

    Definitely worth a listen. I actually plan on relistening to it again in the near future. My only issues with this audiobook are these: The musical interludes are loud, poor quality, and overlap the audio making it difficult to hear sometimes. I dont think they're necessary at all. I also found the narrators voice difficult to listen to at times and not very easy on the ears, but this may be a personal thing.

    Best book I've ever read.

    This book somehow helped me get over my depression and rise above it. I feel this should be a mandatory read in anyone's library.
