Allright

A lot of (well done, bit outdate maybe, but enjoyable because of that) storytelling. Insight are ok, but could be summed up in a much briefer and straight to the point way that I find more useful.

Great Read

The sample stories made the content meaningful. Lessons to be learn by others. Will listen to it again and again.

Inspiration at its best

When I purchased this, I didn't realize it was taken from two other books. However, I'm glad I bought it since it reminds me of the highlights of the other two. How to Win Friends and Influence People and How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. I did get more out of his stories with this than I had in re-listening... I guess the brain likes to mix things up.
The audio quality was great.
And it's funny how similar the problems were then that we are facing now: lack of jobs, fear, wanting to build true relationships.
I'd recommend if you're looking to do some introspection and wanting to better your life through your connections.

Repeat

If you listened to how to not worry this book is the same. it could have gone into more depth with how to enjoy your job more.

Another Great Work of Carnegie's

So many of his concepts are critical to today's best business practices. It's ironic how fundamental principles are often overlooked with today's bells and whistles.

Excellent stuff, but it's rerun material

Any additional comments?

This is excellent material, but it is only republished material from Mr. Carnegie's two famous books

Beware of duplicate content!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Having new material that is not exactly copied from another book.

Would you ever listen to anything by Dale Carnegie again?

Not if it is copied and pasted content from another book.

How could the performance have been better?

Actually having new content and ideas versus copying the exact stories from "How to Win Friends and Influence People".

What character would you cut from How to Enjoy Your Life and Your Job?

All characters from the other book.

Any additional comments?

I would like a refund so I can get a book I have not already paid for.

just a repeat

It should be clearer that this is a repeat of his previous books. If you have How to Win Friends and Influence People and How to stop Worrying, then you have this book. Such a disappointment. Wish I could get my money back.

No longer relevant.

Although some of the ideas is this book have psychological merit, the segments were obviously written before the age of technology that we are in now. No one has the ability to simply clean off their desk at the end of the day, or to do one task at a time with nothing else on their agenda. Those days are gone. Survival now depends on multi-tasking and the 8-hour work day no longer exists. Totally outdated. Save your money.
