Ratings and reviews

This book is best book for young teens and adults who wish read a self help books! It is really easy to read and understand, and also grows your curiosity! It also has some parts where it makes you laugh and smile. If you are looking for a self book, I recommend this book for you! I love reading Dale Carnegie's books!

The book was very good and it gave many pointers when it comes to human relations but I don't think it's suitable for the people of India for example. Need some alternations when it comes to the circle you are in.

That a book was written a long time ago shouldn't add gravitas to its reputation, that it has sold so many copies nor mean there s truth in the words. This book does have a reputation, but is that because it was the ony one of its kind for so long? It certainly doesn't seem to me that it is earned - the book is poorly written and hard to read because of it. My father pointed me at this 35 years ago and it seemed from a different age then - the words and advice are outdated and unlikley to shape the shy into winners in modern society. That's not to say there's nothing of value in here, almost every book has some merit and there are some techniques in here that might ease life, particularly those with a business bent. However, I was honestly so stunned to see this on the front page of Google's book list that I was provoked into writing this before I go to work, hoping to save at least one person from making the terrible mistake that this is the best self-help book for this purpose, which it isn't. I wondered if I was alone in this opinion but have read around other websites and am I'm glad to say I'm not. Do some research before making a knee-jerk purchase of the only book anyone has ever heard of!
