Great sequel to how to win friends

This is a great sequel to how to win friends and influence people, Part two was especially good and chapter 9 about getting connected, or reconnected, in our relationships was my absolute favorite. I loved how each chapter started with a quote from Dale Carnegie. The author, a successor to Dale Carnegie and the current CEO, reads the book himself, which makes it even more special. and he's easy to listen to for hours.

If you are bew to Dale Carnegie or need a refresher - this is a great listen

The book provides a fresh view on the timeless teachings of Dale Carnegie and provides not only the content but clear and easy action steps to follow up on. Having Joe Hart read the book makes it even more of a treat to listen as you clearly hear the passion that went into this book and the personal stories are so much more authentic in this fashion.
