Ratings and reviews

Honestly, this book had simple ideas that anyone can think of off the top of their head. What makes this special is the acknowledgement of these ideas in a systematic and immediately useful way. These aren't impossible virtues to attain, yet are neither random ideas just thrown together for a profit. This is a book every person must read if they want to actually have a chance at true success and achievement beyond a bigger paycheck in life. I will never stop rereading this book. I love it!

Highly recommended and easy to read for non native English speakers, all the points are supported with adequate examples, useful stuff for everyday simple things as long as in business life. Dale Carnegie had to be a very inspiring personality and these kind of info and knowledge should be teached in school. I will definetelly read more books of the author. The price of the book is totally worth the return in knowledge and the things you read may take place in real life, so there is a practical usage. It is remarkable that the book is written almost a century ago, but it isn't really noticeable.

The book contains many incredibly useful tips, but the page count could've easily been cut down by half: Many of the points brought up, while useful, overlap one other, and Carnegie has a tendency to give way too many anecdotes.
