Loading... How to Win Friends and Influence People (1948)by Dale Carnegie
The advice in this seems practical and implementable. Maybe not so easy to apply for those of us who are more socially awkward, but I still have a few targets to work for now. Although I will admit that the chapter on smiling at strangers made me laugh and laugh. Nope. (  ) thewalkinggirl | Apr 27, 2013 |  It's hard to rate this book, instead I'll call it... essential. Ritastradling | Apr 15, 2013 | As I recall, I borrowed this book from my parents' bookshelves when I was young. (Self-conscious Voice Inside My Head: "You're just saying that because you're afraid that admitting that you read and liked this book will make people think that you're a friendless, manipulator wanna-be." My Ego: "Well, duh!") The author's experience in sales gave him plenty of time to note what sort of interactions lead to getting a 'yes' versus a 'no,' so there's a lot of horse sense in this book. At the young, idealistic age that I read it, I was pretty angry to learn of the existence of such sneaky techniques. So to a certain extent, reading this book was a way for me to put on protective armor against folks who might wish to manipulate me. My favorite bit of advice was to shut up as soon as you get a yes from the other person. ( ) KatLowe | Apr 3, 2013 | How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie (?)  journeyguy | Apr 2, 2013 | I liked this not for what it is, but for what it (intentionally or not) encourages: serve others. The best way to "win friends and influence people" is to genuinely care about and invest in them. The goal is wrong; but along the way he encourages means that may ultimately change people's goals. A bit strange, but there you have it. (  ) chriskrycho | Mar 30, 2013 | no reviews | add a review
