"This book was suggested as a book club pick several years ago. We didn't end up reading it but it pique my interest. Which is one thing I love about book clubs, I'm pretty sure I would never of picked this book up on my own since I thought the title sounded manipulative. But for the most part it wasn"t and I really enjoyed this book. I discovered and started applying (sometimes rediscovered and reasserted efforts to apply) many true principles about how to get along with others mostly based on things like being considerate, respectful, kind, a good listener etc... Don't we all need to be better at those kind of things? Wouldn't the world be better if we each actually took some conscientious effort to be better at those kind of things? So another example of don't judge a book by it's cover (or title in this case)."

“Sound, practical common sense.”
— New York Times“How to Win Friends and Influence People is just as useful today as it was when it was first published, because Dale Carnegie had an understanding of human nature that will never be outdated.”
— Amazon.com, editorial review“Originally published in 1936, this is the archetype of the practical human relations handbook…Andrew MacMillan’s confident, friendly narration is a worthy counterpart for Carnegie's advice.”
— Library Journal" Helps to reinforce things you should know but may have forgotten or overlooked. Nothing earth shattering. Worth a listen! "

— jordan, 3/9/2017" Been wanting to read this for a long time. Little time and patience to read, so audiobook was the way to go. This book did not let me down. Immediately referred to other that could learn to communicate better. Started implementing and listened again the following week. Highly recommend. Very much enjoyed narrator as well. Voice and inflection kept my interest and entertained. Now downloading How to Win Friends and Influence People in the Digital Age. Hope I will enjoy and learn from it just as much. "

— Nick, 7/10/2016" I loved this book. I am naturally very task oriented, and so this brought so much clarity to me about what people love and they way they think. I feel more equipped to please people and bring more life and vivacity into the world! I am so inspired. Carnegie's points are applicable to my actual life. Even if you are naturally people oriented, this book teaches you how to improve on those qualities. It is all around helpful, and worthy of time in your busy schedule. It truly helps you want to love people. I recommend this book with any authority I possess. "

— Jeff, 1/19/2014" The seven-page forward alone will floor you on how much time, effort, and money was poured into the writing of this book! It was the first of its kind, and still the very best of its kind. The name Dale Carnegie is legendary for a reason. "

— Favour, 10/18/2013" I'd learned almost of all of Carnegie's principles before I even read the book in 1994 because of the previous 8 years I'd spent in the Jaycees organization. It should be on everyone's must read list. "
— Jeff, 6/26/2013" Mommy made me read this when I was really young, primary school I think (evident lack of tactfulness on my side maybe? haha). Anyway this is one of the non-fiction staples. It is very to the point, convincing and effective. "
