This is the first and only English publication I've read, and I find it is so worthwhile that I am eager to read other great works of Dale Carnegie.

It helped shaped me early in life, as I read it in my early teens, about 14 or so. It has so much so ingrained a few qualities so deep that it has become part of who I am. However, I believe that in order to successfully implement his teachings and/or theories, one should be sincere - not just to be successful in the human network yet is full of superficiality. I personally loath people who 'play' around with knowledge like this, instead of be genuinely interested in enhancing and enriching the experience of human relationship. It’s a great book.

I agree that this is a fantactic book, very readable, very simple, very enjoyable. "It’s an easy book to mock — its earnest tips can seem idealistic and childish to the cynical" - The beauty of the tips IS their simplicity. You read these things and say "Of course' it's obvious!" "This book is easily misinterpreted. I’ve heard it condemned for encouraging people to be obsequious flatterers. Yet Carnegie loathes insincerity." - Another good point. I think this is a really really great book and one well worth reading every couple of years just so that the ideas stay fresh in you mind. I am a middle manager and it has really changed the way I work with my staff. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read. Thanks for the review. Dez! G’day.

They were re-written in the 80s. They got rid of all the old-fashioned language. But the books lack his voice and I found them nowhere near as interesting or helpful.

This is a terrific book. I was hesitant to read it at first because the title has become little more than a punch line in today's culture, but this really impacted the way I relate to other people. Despite the title, it is a not a book on how to become the most popular person in the room and the one who can win every argument; it is about how to act cordially and conduct business in such as way that the end result us for everyone's benefit.
