Varnika ，

I liked it。 It is a good and an insightful book， which shows you how small actions make a big difference。 A well researched book which one can read to get some insights into human psychology。Overall 3。5/5 stars。

One of the best books ever written about relationship。 Although at the glance， the style and the tips can sounds very basic and known but collectively the ideas presented and the good application examples in this book are a treasure and exceptionally can work as magic。

Habib Hekmat ，

Enjoyed reading it

Một cuốn sách rất hay về cách ứng xử với mọi người trong cuộc sống。 Mỗi chương đều là những bài học lớn đi cùng với đó là những dẫn chứng cụ thể và sinh động của tác giả。Tuy nhiên để vận dụng những nguyên tắc ấy vào cuộc sống là điều không hề dễ dàng。。。

Kristoffer Bale ，

Good overall

Adriana Chen ，

I would recommend this to anyone。

Wilbert De La Rosa ，

I think everyone should read a book like this！ Is not just about making friends， is building your communication skills to have better relationships and understand people。

its a bit corny but seems to work。 Funny as i am reading it concurrency with never split the difference who goes against the say yes advice espoused here。 changes in how we classify and understand things in the 80 years since this was published。 Enjoyed the end more so on how to be encouraging and approach problems indirectly。 being genuinely interested in ppl seems to be the trick。 do your homework and come offering solutions。 the bit on make it dramatic was prescient as that seems to be the bi its a bit corny but seems to work。 Funny as i am reading it concurrency with never split the difference who goes against the say yes advice espoused here。 changes in how we classify and understand things in the 80 years since this was published。 Enjoyed the end more so on how to be encouraging and approach problems indirectly。 being genuinely interested in ppl seems to be the trick。 do your homework and come offering solutions。 the bit on make it dramatic was prescient as that seems to be the big move nowadays in narrative branding and the rise of ted talks。 。。。more

I’m glad I read this as a sort of history lesson， but I do feel the topics have been covered better other places since。

The plain in sight but not so obvious truths about life。 Quite an insightful and refreshing read。

I decided to read this book after hearing about it over the years and it’s enduring popularity。 It both annoys and impresses me。 Definitely there are valuable points made in this book。 Communicating more effectively and finding common ground are definitely in need these days。 But it also comes across as a superficial， repetitive， name-dropping lecture at times。 Overall I’m glad I read it。

Tom Dinan ，

This is a good book for improving one's relations with people。 The edition that I read is showing its age since the examples are stories drawn from the 1920s and the 1930s。 However， most of the basic principles are still valid。 The first basic principle of not being critical or judgemental is the easiest one to follow since it mostly involves keeping one's mouth shut。 Others are a bit more difficult like giving honest appreciation or trying to understand the motivations of people。 Some technique This is a good book for improving one's relations with people。 The edition that I read is showing its age since the examples are stories drawn from the 1920s and the 1930s。 However， most of the basic principles are still valid。 The first basic principle of not being critical or judgemental is the easiest one to follow since it mostly involves keeping one's mouth shut。 Others are a bit more difficult like giving honest appreciation or trying to understand the motivations of people。 Some techniques in the book have become dated。 One suggestion is to lead with something positive before bringing up something negative。 This has become so ingrained in our culture that I cringe every time someone suddenly becomes very complimentary。 It always means that it will be followed by some nasty， hypercritical remark or some outlandish request for work to be done immediately。 。。。more

Reading this in 2021。 Many of the points and summaries are strong and （from what I can surmise） still hold true。 Having said that， due to the age of the book， some of the examples are less accessible than they likely were in the 1920s-30s。 Worth the quick read， but focus on the chapter summaries and lists （and try to imagine how you can implement the suggestions in your own life）， as opposed to being bogged down by the extended anecdotes。

This book is really a must read， it changed my life totally

Lots of useful principles that could be applied in your day-to-day。 They've also helped me reflect on some of my previous interactions and understand what I did wrong and what I could have done better。I did find the examples for each principle a bit repetitive and the transitions between them abrupt。 I also wish he mentioned how to handle situations where the individual you're interacting with doesn't react the way he described （in which case， what principle do we follow next？） Lots of useful principles that could be applied in your day-to-day。 They've also helped me reflect on some of my previous interactions and understand what I did wrong and what I could have done better。I did find the examples for each principle a bit repetitive and the transitions between them abrupt。 I also wish he mentioned how to handle situations where the individual you're interacting with doesn't react the way he described （in which case， what principle do we follow next？） 。。。more

I chose this book on purpose， After a breakup I found myself completely alone in a foreign country and wanted to build up connections。 Partly it was my fault to end up like this because I ignored the importance of having friends and looking for new ones。This book helped me to build up my self-confidence communicating with new people。 I think it is not about building up a people-pleasing character， but it definitely helps to learn how to deal with people。 From a business aspect， it definitely hel I chose this book on purpose， After a breakup I found myself completely alone in a foreign country and wanted to build up connections。 Partly it was my fault to end up like this because I ignored the importance of having friends and looking for new ones。This book helped me to build up my self-confidence communicating with new people。 I think it is not about building up a people-pleasing character， but it definitely helps to learn how to deal with people。 From a business aspect， it definitely helps getting a job what you want or starting your own business，etc。 It helps getting people interested in you。At the end I was a bit suprised because the topic went into marriage as well。 I'm not a feminist， but the time have changed a lot。 I don't agree with that point of view that woman belongs to kitchen and man earns the money， this part must be up to date。 Appreciation from both ways （husband and wife） is necessary when we want the marriage to work。 。。。more

A lot of this is common sense （which I think we've all come to realize is not so common anymore。） I enjoyed the anecdotes and stories。 I feel like it was helpful overall， but most of the principles were pretty obvious。 A lot of this is common sense （which I think we've all come to realize is not so common anymore。） I enjoyed the anecdotes and stories。 I feel like it was helpful overall， but most of the principles were pretty obvious。 。。。more

It's an amazing book， if you really try to take in what it's trying to teach you， which is a new way of thinking rather than the misconception that it aims to manipulate people。 As it's constantly mentioned in the book， you get to wonder why everyone's not already doing what is being taught here， but I guess it's been the bad habit that we just couldn't break。 It's an amazing book， if you really try to take in what it's trying to teach you， which is a new way of thinking rather than the misconception that it aims to manipulate people。 As it's constantly mentioned in the book， you get to wonder why everyone's not already doing what is being taught here， but I guess it's been the bad habit that we just couldn't break。 。。。more

I was gifted this book by a friend。 I was eager to read it， as I was having trouble stepping out of my bubble and expanding my social circle。As I read on， I realized that the title is very much a misnomer。Now， call me a cynic （or perhaps one who has read way too many spy novels） but if I were to retitle this book， I would call it "How to Develop an Asset。"The way Carnegie details making "friends" really strikes me as developing an asset。 You appeal to their interests and engage in a benign manip I was gifted this book by a friend。 I was eager to read it， as I was having trouble stepping out of my bubble and expanding my social circle。As I read on， I realized that the title is very much a misnomer。Now， call me a cynic （or perhaps one who has read way too many spy novels） but if I were to retitle this book， I would call it "How to Develop an Asset。"The way Carnegie details making "friends" really strikes me as developing an asset。 You appeal to their interests and engage in a benign manipulation to get them doing what you want them to do with a smile on their face。 It really stresses not burdening others with your desires or issues and instead encouraging people to burden you with their desires or issues to the effect of getting them to like you。For me， a friendship is a two-way street。 You lean on them， they lean on you， and you're there for each other。 This book does not meet that definition。That said， it does contain a lot of useful information about human psychology from a layman's perspective， and it's reliable information， given how long this book has been in print and remained as popular as it has。 For those working in sales or looking to politick their coworkers or a troubled love one to sway them into agreement， this book is indeed very useful and knowledgeable。I just wouldn't expect to make many true friends with this book's knowledge alone。 It definitely strikes me as required reading at Camp Peary。 。。。more

Nice idea and may have aome value in some scenario， however I think the argument and point shared in the book may not be relevant with the issue we’re facing in the modern time。But still， great idea to be shared and to be taken with a grain of salt。

Aleksandar Rusev ，

Such books should be taught at schools。

Great Book！I’ve been implementing these principles in my life and have seen all my relationships grow！ Very grateful for this book

The book teaches you how to become an effective people pleaser。 Works nicely in theory， but can be harmful in the long term if you aim to develop deep relationships with others。
