An Alternative Title

The pure fundamental truths that Mr Carnegie shares in his book are, in my humble opinion, of such great importance that my greatest and only regret in life is that I didn't read it sooner. I wish I had read this back when I was a senior in high school and now that I have finished with the book I have come to recognize noticeable changes in how I interact with others. I now strive to make others happy and joyful and when I succeed I also become happy. The current title is excellent and straight to the point. If Mr Carnegie were around to read my review I would recommend add a couple extra words to the title "How to Win Friends, Influence People, and Live a Happy Life"

Valid perspective, outdated examples

Carnegie takes on a fairly dark subject with a surprising amount of (still) valid perspective given how long ago this book was written. The examples are pretty cruddy, and very out of date in today's world but in most cases the point they are trying to illustrate is valid. You will have to think long and hard about how to apply these principles to your daily life. It can be done but will require some critical thinking on the reader's part. The narrator sounds very old timey and from the 50's but it almost makes it better because of when the book was written.

Dale Carnegie was a Genius

Dale Carnegie discovered so many things almost 100 years ago that humans are yet to fully understand, reconcile and apply in our lives. Anyone who is able to apply even a small portion of his principles will benefit a lot. My only regret is that I got to read/listen to this in 2017 when I have had a copy in my personal library since 1987. I cannot imagine how my overall quality of life would have improved had I adopted his principles 30 years ago. Better Now thanNever...

A MUST read.

Gold tidbits shared that holds the potential to be life changing. Eye opening information about basic and human instinct needs.

Abb

Absolute best book I've been pleasured with digesting. I recommend this for all ages progressions lovers and entreprenuers. This book is the bible to kindness and manners.

Best book

The best book I have ever read or listened to. It was so good I’m going to physically read it starting this evening.

Excellent Book!

i love this book. I can already see a change in my conversations with people.

This Book Needs to be In Schools, Ignore the Title

This book when taken seriously has the power to change lives, and on a large enough scale, the world. This book teaches the skill of being a good person in social situations in a way that is positive to both you and the other parties. The title seems manipulative or almost "motivational!" But I can guarantee you it has so much more to offer than the title of this book would imply.

This book has personally helped me improve every aspect of my life through helping me communicate with others more effectively. That means: being assertive in a polite way, conceding when I need to in a polite way, being more genuine with others, learning how to be more reasonable with advice and making sure it doesn't come out as criticism, the power of authentic compliments, and in a very broad stroke, being more charismatic in general.

I would highly recommend this book to everyone, I wish that we read this book in school as it would help so many people, even the most charismatic person in the world will learn something from this book.

Very helpful

I read this in 2010, and just recently listened to it. If you haven't read it in a long time, I'd recommend reading it again. it has many helpful tips and reminders on how to treat and deal with people.
