I can understand why Mr. Carnegie's work has stood the test of time. Simple precepts are presented and then reinforced with multiple examples of application from people who the author knows or met through his courses where said precepts are taught. The prose is simple and accessible, even chatty in tone. Everybody should read this, imho.
This is selections from How to Win Friends and Influence People and How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. Basically the condensed versions in order to cash in on Dale Carnegie's popularity and as a quick introduction to some of the concepts. A bit dated in some of the ways things are presented, I'm more used to less verbiage from this sort of book, but otherwise quite readable.
Interesting view of how teaching other people well can reflect well on your work and home life.

Great for self improvement. Very easy read. Practical insight on just being yourself. I recommend all of Dale Carnegie's books.
Dated but sound.
Se trata de una antología de algunos capítulos de otras dos obras del autor, que fue presidente de la General Motors y uno de los "padres" tanto de los libros de autoayuda como de la idea de que la productividad está muy ligada a la satisfacción personal, más incluso que al sueldo. A partir de los cursos impartidos por Carnegie y por sus sucesores (creó una fundación con su nombre dedicada a ello) y de sus libros se inició un movimiento que llega hasta los actuales cursos para directivos. Lo cierto es que buena parte de las cosas que hoy te enseñan sobre organización, buen rollo, actitud positiva, "más comprensión y menos presión" y cosas así proceden de aquí, y uno se las encuentra en su estado prístino. Cierto que en show more algunos puntos concretos probablemente haya que acudir hoy a desarrollos más profundos, tanto más cuanto que este libro es, en realidad, un resumen (esto se nota mucho en la última parte, que parece redactada de prisa y corriendo). Pero, en conjunto, sigue siendo perfectamente válido, y sobre todo ayuda saber que una persona que llegó a multimillonario lo hizo (o al menos eso dice, y no tendría por qué decirlo) apostando por lo bueno y no por gruñir. En el fondo, es una lección de optimismo. Incluso se puede tomar como un alegato por algunos valores cristianos (humildad, empatía, etc.), que, utilizados con inteligencia, le pueden traer a uno la recompensa ya en este mundo. Por aquí se cuela el espíritu protestante. Pero, en todo caso, el libro está muy bien, sobre todo para mí, que lo leí justo antes de volver al trabajo tras la Semana Santa. show less

Dale Breckenridge Carnegie (spelled Carnagey until 1922) was born on November 24, 1888 in Maryville, Missouri. He was the son of a poor farmer but he managed to get an education at the State Teacher's College in Warrensburg. After school he became a successful salesman and then began pursuing his dream of becoming a lecturer. At one point, he show more lived, penniless, at the YMCA on 125th street in New York City. There he persuaded the "Y" manager to allow him to give courses on public speaking. His technique included making students speak about something that made them angry -- this technique made them unafraid to address an audience. From this beginning, the Dale Carnegie Course developed. (Dale also changed the spelling of his last name from Carnagey to Carnegie due to the widely recognized name of Andrew Carnegie.) Carnegie wrote Public Speaking: a Practical Course for Business Men (1926), but his greatest written achievement was How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936). The book has still made it on to the bestsellers' list in 2014. Carnegie died at his home in Forest Hills, New York on November 1, 1955. He was buried in the Belton, Cass County, Missouri, cemetery. The official biography from Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc. states that he died of Hodgkin's disease. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
