Highly recommend reading for any business owner or entrepreneur. ( )markdeo | Apr 6, 2009 | Probably the epitome of self-help books, for a 70-year-old text its points are still very important today. Some of this book is common knowledge ('don't criticise' and 'tell people you appreciate them') but a lot of other points are the sort of thing that you might need pointing out so you remember them. It can be a little heavy at times- some of the examples and stories are needlessly long-winded- but pressing through is remarkably rewarding and leaves you with a lot of useful knowledge at the end. Even if you don't end up loving it, it's worth reading so you know what everyone else is talking about. fils | Dec 21, 2008 | 0.061 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0671027034, Paperback)This grandfather of all people-skills books was first published in 1937. It was an overnight hit, eventually selling 15 million copies. 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as it was when it was first published, because Dale Carnegie had an understanding of human nature that will never be outdated. Financial success, Carnegie believed, is due 15 percent to professional knowledge and 85 percent to "the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among people." He teaches these skills through underlying principles of dealing with people so that they feel important and appreciated. He also emphasizes fundamental techniques for handling people without making them feel manipulated. Carnegie says you can make someone want to do what you want them to by seeing the situation from the other person's point of view and "arousing in the other person an eager want." You learn how to make people like you, win people over to your way of thinking, and change people without causing offense or arousing resentment. For instance, "let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers," and "talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person." Carnegie illustrates his points with anecdotes of historical figures, leaders of the business world, and everyday folks. --Joan Price(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:10 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
