 Tired of your job?
Stressed at your job over the people, politics, buracracy and tasks?
Read this book.
Call in sick, open a bottle of Mondavi Rieseling and read away!
wonderful
What a wonderful book. Dale Carnagie really has it right. Everyone should be required to read his books. Very good information to live your life.
Good for communication skills
Great for self improvement. Very easy read. Practical insight on just being yourself. I recommend all of Dale Carnegie's books.
 Practical ways to become better at human relations
This book merely takes excerpts from Dale Carnegie's two earlier books: (1) How to stop worrying and start living and (2) How to win friends and influence people.
Rules excerpted from How to Stop Worrying and Start Living include
1. Be yourself, do not imitate others.
2. Work habits:
(a) keep your desk clean except for material related to the current problem at hand
(b) work on more important problems first
(c) when you encounter a problem, solve it right away if you have the necessary information rather than leave it lingering
(d) delegate effectively, you're still responsible for the results
3. Relax
4. Be enthusiastic
5. Count you blessings, not your troubles.
6. Remember that unjust criticism is often a disguised compliment.
7. Put in your best effort; don't let others' criticisms get to you
Rules from How to Win Friends and Influence People include
1. Don't criticize, complain
2. Give honest, sincere appreciation
3. Arouse enthusiasm through appreciation and encouragement.
4. Consider and articulate benefits to the other party in pursuing the proposed action
5. Become genuinely interested in other people
6. Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely.
7. Show respect for the other person's opinion.
8. Begin in a friendly way.
9. Get the other person to say successive "yes", "yes" immediately.
10. Let the other person take credit for the idea.
11. Appeal to the nobler motives.
12. Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly.
13. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.
14. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
15. Let the other man save his face.
The habits are easy to understand and eminently practical. Reading the book will help you become better at human relations.
 Why they do this?
Why did they rehash old stuff into a new book? This book is really two books - How to win friends... and stop worrying, start living. I didn't know and I actually read both books already and I got suckered into buying this. You may say I should've read the fine print, but whatever, it's stupid.
