The very best in self-help books!
What can't I say about this book?! I first read How to Win Friends and Influence People five years ago. I have made it practice to read it at least once a year now in the hopes that some day I may actually assimilate the incredible wealth of material included in the pages. Listen, there are a ton of self-help and motivational books out there, but this one isn't like all the rest: it is the forefather to all of them! I have to be honest when I say that this book has had a profound impact on my life and my way of thinking. It is timeless, priceless, and seems to get better with age. I hold no reservation or hesitation in recommending that you not only put one of these on your shelf, but that you read it over, and over, and over again.Reviewed by: James L. Clark, MBA, MSc., PhD Candidate (Leadership) is a serial entrepreneur, lecturer, and consultant. He is the author of the book Wading Through the Crap: How to Start Living the Successful Life You Have Always Wanted (ISBN 0972697551) that has received rave review.

In Essence: Yield and be sincere. Audio version is excellent
To my mind, sincerity and deference are at the core of Carnegie's advice, which I find to be quintessentially Taoist in character. Well-researched and occasionally even tear-jerking, this is one of the most engrossing books I've ever read. I highly recommend the audio version as well. The narrator is the best I've heard, with a tone that carries the intamcy of a fireside chat, and an inflection that communicates a emotional connection to the work.Despite its esteem, I ignorantly passed over this book for years because the title gave me the impression that it described ways to manipulate people's feelings in order to further one's business/financial career. Carnegie takes care to periodically remind us that the practice only becomes a tool for manipulating others when people employ it insincerely. When his or her efforts are neither manufactured nor contrived, the successful Carnegie student displays grace, diplomacy, poise, and deference (wit sold separately).

Good book by Mr. Carnegie
I can't recommend this outstanding work by the late Mr. Carnegie enough. Before reading How To Win Friends and Influence People, I was a social loser, didn't know how to interact with anyone and was always passed over for promotions at work (not to mention parties and other social events).This book changed my whole life. If you buy just one book on human realtions, make it this one.
On the other hand, if you want to read more than one book I also recommend The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey and Super Self by Charles J. Givens.
