This is a must-read book for anyone in public service or who aspires to be promoted. It has the power to transform our perspectives and enhance our interpersonal skills. By reading this book, we can become better individuals and inspire positive change in others. I regret not reading it when it was recommended to me 20 years ago. ( )
At first, I thought about how trivial the principles were, which explains why it is part of the high school curriculum in some places. Then, I appreciated the low-key language and practical examples used as the principles were easy to grasp. Also, I find that many of the principles are now common sense in our day and age. The latter is understandable as the book belongs to a different era. I learned a thing or two—tremendous and easy-to-read text. ( )
Succo del discorso: siate gentili con gli altri, cercate di ricordare il loro nome e, almeno ogni tanto, fate i bravi e date l'idea che vi interessi ciò che vi stanno dicendo. Ecco fatto, avete evitato di leggere 300 pagine di aneddoti in stile american dream. Non c'è di che ;) ( )
This book is dedicated to a man who doesn't need to read it - My cherished friend Homer Croy
First words
Introduction by Lowell Thomas - a short-cut to distinction. On a cold, winter night last January two thousand five hundred men and women thronged into the grand ballroom of the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York. Every available seat was filled by half past seven.
Introduction by Dale Carnegie - How this book was written - and why. Â ... Why, then, have I had the temerity to write another book? And, after I have written it, why should you bother to read it?

Relocated from 'first words' Common Knowledge entry -"How to Win Friends and Influence People was first published in 1937 in an edition of only five thousand copies." Which appears to be from the preface written by Dorothy Carnegie (Mrs. Dale Carnegie) to the 'revised' addition.
Following copied from Simon & Schuster (original publishers) web page on 10 May 2015 "Since its release in 1936, How to Win Friends and Influence People has sold more than 15 million copies."

Book description
Don't criticize, condemn or complain. Give honest and sincere appreciation. Arouse in the other person an eager want. Become genuinely interested in other people. Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves. Talk in terms of the other person's interests. Make the other person feel important-and do it sincerely. The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it. Show respect for the other person's opinions. Never say "You're wrong." If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically. Begin in a friendly way. Get the other person saying "yes, yes" immediately. Let the other person do a great deal of the talking. Let the other person feel the idea is his or hers. Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view. Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires. Appeal to the nobler motives. Dramatize your ideas. Throw down a challenge. Begin with praise and honest appreciation. Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders. Let the other person save face. Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Be "hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise." Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to. Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.
