There is a reason this book continues to be a best seller. It takes something extraordinary for a book to remain a best seller fully 80 years after it was first published. Dale Carnegie wrote this book in 1937 offering practical advice in how to get along with others understand their point of view and influence them to your own.It is a testament to the importance of human relationships that even now in fact ESPECIALLY now in our internet age and when many of our interactions are via e-mail or text or social media there continues to be a realization of the importance of human to human contact and relationship.Carnegie understood the basics of relationships and was particularly effective in expressing how the reader can improve his or her own abilities in an understandable way frequently using anecdotes or stories to illustrate key principles.Just as he teaches the importance of listening the book should be read in a thoughtful way and with time taken to really consider the points being made. Give them time to be fully absorbed and use them in daily life.There are very few people who are so good at relationships that they could not learn something from this book. And periodic re-readings will reinforce the lessons learned and bring out new points that may not have been absorbed in first reading.

The most motivational book of all time. No matter what life presents managing personal relationships more effectively managing all relationships can improve life. Clear and precise as life allowed in 1937 when first published this book offers perspectives maybe not possible today without the simpler way life seems to have been prior to technology changes. Certainly having; a positive approach or realizing the majority of success in life depends on our ability to communicate and manage can make everything in life better. Maybe then life will become the potential humans are capable of making the world better for all humanity. Like most things this book contains information which possibly might prove just the insight needed to improve life. Highly recommend for the fresh direct positive manner. This book resides in the pile of books referred to often for inspiration trying to keep positive. Everything can change and every relationship is another chance to start sharing the change.

Seriously. This book is insane! I read it ~8 months ago (March 2018) and it change my whole view of the world. Since reading it I use the lessons in it every day and have become a more effective communicator because of it.

You have to buy it. I promise it will change your view of the world and improve your life. This is coming from a high schooler so the lessons are applicable for all age groups and types of people. You have to pick it up today!

First published in 1936, "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is filled with advice that has stood the test of time. Technology continues to progress, but the human heart remains the same.

If you've ever wondered about what it would be like to get along with nearly everyone, this book will answer that question better than any other. The information that will help you develop excellent people skills, grew out of curiosity, experiments and research. So you could say it is even scientific.

After reading three or more different versions of this book, including the one for the digital age and updated versions, I must say that I think this first version is my favorite.

I still however continue to disagree with the advice to not let someone know when they have a source of a quote wrong. People have corrected me in the past and I've appreciated them helping me out! The quote in this book about nothing being good or bad - that it is your thinking that makes it so - is deceptively wrong. People know the difference between good and evil things. And Socrates saying he knew nothing...how did he know that then?

Otherwise I agree with everything else in this brilliant study on human nature. I have been testing out the advice in this book this week and wish more people would read this book and take it seriously when talking and dealing with me. I apparently am not so different than the regular human who enjoys a bit of appreciation and recognition. You will find you really relate to this book in dozens of ways. Read this book to find out how to get along with more people and to figure out what really makes you tick or ticks you off!

Despite being decades old, the advice given couldn’t be anymore relevant. Even in the age where virtually everything is digital, many of these guidelines still apply today. The prose is very flowing and simple. Sure, there’re a few words here and there that are rarely used nowadays, but the points are well described and have good examples to back them up; Historical and recent at the time.

My only concern is that some of the advice may actually be a little manipulative and won’t always in certain scenarios. My biggest concern is the one about criticism. I’m kind’ve split on that. If it’s done to be nasty, that’s one thing. However, if it’s constructive, you should listen and try to apply. It’s good to praise your workers, but under certain circumstances, it can be a bit manipulative and even unproductive. You should never be rude though.

Even with these concerns, this’s a good book I highly recommend everyone read at least once in their life. This has a lot of useful info. It is the father of self-help books after all. Find yourself a copy and see for yourself.

This book is a MUST read for anyone, but particularly if you are in management or sales. This book changed my life in the way that I interact with people. I would highly recommend this book to ANYONE because it teaches everyone valuable lessons about human interaction. This book covers a wide range of topics such as how to motivate people, how to win them to your way of thinking, but also covers small and often overlooked things such as the importance of remembering someone's name (and tips for how to do so). Get a hard copy and read it several times, then pass it on to someone you know who could use help with becoming a better "people person".

I wish I had purchased this book sooner.

Dale Carnegie's advice has remained constant and applicable across the years for a reason. It's simple and his techniques make perfect sense. If you're anything like me, you'll be kicking yourself when you see how you could have handled situations differently. I'm being transformed from a socially awkward, timid and defensive person, to someone that seems collected and confident.

If you're having troubles in life and simply can't figure out what you're doing wrong, this is a fantastic place to start. Good luck on your journey!
