Reactions:
“The fact that this book was published in 1936 and is still a top seller today says a lot more than I can manage to convey in this review. The book is filled with sound practical advice. It is probably the best book ever written on human relations. Anyone and everyone should find it to be a valuable guide, whether in personal, family, or business relationships. Despite the title, which some may consider overly aggressive by todays’standards, the practices discussed in the book are in no way manipulative. To the contrary, this book helps you learn the art and skill of conversation and persuasion through attentiveness to, and consideration of others.” – Jim
“The title doesn’t do it justice. I was half expecting some slimeball manual of how to fake being a sympathetic person. On the contrary, this is a classic. Its message is that if you want to do well with people, you’d better become interested and considerate and pleasant to be around. The book tells you how, over and over, with principles and examples and anecdotes.” – Anon
“Sometimes the classics just can’t be beat. I took the Dale Carnegie course, and this book was required reading. It completely changed the way I deal with people, and the overall effect is astonishing. After reading the book, you’ll be astonished as to how commonsensical the teachings are, but boy do they work.
I’ve had at least ten occasions over the past year where I had to deal with very difficult people who were bent on starting a fight or argument. When we were finished, in each case the other person heartily apologized for their behavior and thanked me for keeping a cool head about things. Most importantly though, is that I approached each of these encounters with the utmost confidence that I could handle this person, and this situation. I didn’t feel even the slightest bit nervous or afraid. To encounter these types of situations feeling calm and confident is a rare gift that I now have. There is no way to put a price tag on that. I plan to listen to, and read this book many times over my life. The lessons are invaluable. Don’t wait another day before learning the secrets contained in this book.” – Christopher
“I think the book had a lot of good ideas. I expect I will try to use some of them, and actually already have. I especially liked the section on arguing (or not), and think national debates (not to mention local) might go a lot better if people applied the principles from this book. It did seem to have its faults though. For one thing, it seemed kind of dated… I realize it was written in the 1930s, but it seems like human nature shouldn’t have changed much since then, yet it feels like it has. For example, it’s hard to imagine an owner of a large company giving you lots of his time and choosing your product over your competitors’ just because you commented on something of interest to him (something that happens in about 25% of the book’s examples). I recognize that this might be my limited experience though.” – Jesse
“This classic from Dale Carnegie is a must read for anyone who is interested in improving their interpersonal relationships. I first read this book as a teenager. Although I struggled with some of the dated expressions, I found the content inspiring and practical. I enjoyed the audio version as a refresher and the timeless wisdom it contains. It is more than twenty years since I first read the book and I still find valuable lessons in it today.” – Michael
