 Charismatic! November 14, 2008

If this guy's so good at winning friends and influencing people, how come he's dead?
A Life Changer November 13, 2008
This book was life changing for me. As a dad, a husband, a school teacher and a stand-up comedian, I needed these teachings. This book showed me a better way to lead at home and in the class room. It also has helped me deal with club owners, which has already materialized in more money. I now know that a leader doesn't make you follow him, he makes you WANT to follow him. My home, work, and business relationships have improved drastically because of this book. If you follow these teachings from the heart, you will see drastic changes in both your business and personal lives.

An excellent way to change your life November 7, 2008
This book's point is basically that if you treat people with respect and consideration, they'll be much more likely to like you and to see your viewpoint. It goes on to both outline and detail exactly how do do this, providing many examples. As Mr. Carnegie says, practicing the guidelines spelled out in the book won't mean everyone will like you and agree with you, but they will vastly improve the chances that people will like you and agree with you.
I really liked this book because not only is it dead-on accurate when it comes to improving the rate of positive interaction with people, it's an interesting read. I expected to skim through it and glean off the main points, but I ended up reading it from cover to cover.
 Essential People Skills November 5, 2008
As Dale Carnegie writes early in this well-known book, 15% of one's financial success is due to professional knowledge and skill. The remaining 85% is due to personality and the ability to lead people. As a young professional in the early stage of my career, I picked up a copy of How to Win Friends & Influence People in order to hone my human relations.
The book, first published in the 1930s, is certainly dated in the anecdotes it relates about high-powered business executives and politicians. However, the advice is written in a conversational manner that is very easy to read and still relevant to these modern times.
The book distills its wisdom in short chapters focused around specific advice. As you progress through the book, many of the suggestions become recurring themes, reinforcing their emphasis. Much of the advice is simple common sense and common courtesy, but reminders are welcome, as it is all too easy to take these skills for granted.
After reading the book, I recommend printing out a list of the main headings, to be reviewed on a daily or weekly basis. I also suggeste occasionally re-reading the chapters that pertain to specific weaknesses you may exhibit, so you can have an increased awareness of them as you seek to improve.
Human relations, in both professional and personal matters, is an essential skill. The is one of the premier books on the subject, and rightfully so.
