Synopsis:
A revised edition of the best-selling guide to interpersonal relationships provides suggestions for successfully dealing with people both in social and business situations. Reissue.
Review: This grandfather of all people-skills books was first published in 1937. It was an overnight hit, eventually selling 15 million copies. How to Win Friends and Influence People is just as useful today as it was when it was first published, because Dale Carnegie had an understanding of human nature that will never be outdated. Financial success, Carnegie believed, is due 15 percent to professional knowledge and 85 percent to "the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership and to arouse enthusiasm among people." He teaches these skills through underlying principles of dealing with people so that they feel important and appreciated. He also emphasises fundamental techniques for handling people without making them feel manipulated. Carnegie says you can make someone want to do what you want them to by seeing the situation from the other person's point of view and "arousing in the other person an eager want." You learn how to make people like you, win people over to your way of thinking, and change people without causing offence or arousing resentment. For instance: "Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers" and "talk about your own mistakes before criticising the other person." Carnegie illustrates his points with anecdotes of historical figures, leaders of the business world and everyday folks. --Joan Price

How to Win Friends & Influence People
Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Used. In a world where social interactions often resemble a high-stakes game of chess played by over-caffeinated squirrels, Dale Carnegie?s "How to Win Friends & Influence People" emerges like the proverbial Swiss Army knife?if the knife were made of awkwardly detailed anecdotes and charmingly outdated wisdom. This 1990 edition from Pocket Books is not merely a book; it is a time capsule filled with pearls of advice that would make even the most seasoned socialite raise an eyebrow and mutter, ?Well, that?s one way to skin a cat.? The cover, a vivid homage to a bygone era, practically screams, ?I once belonged to a bookshelf in a waiting room where dreams went to fester.? With its slightly dog-eared pages and the enchanting scent of someone?s long-lost college days, this tome promises to guide you through the labyrinth of human relationships?if only your navigational skills are sharp enough to avoid the proverbial pitfalls of social faux pas. Imagine being handed a manual written for a time when the primary modes of communication were face-to-face chats and handwritten letters. Carnegie, with all the earnestness of a Victorian gentleman, implores you to be genuinely interested in others?yes, even that chap at the bus stop who insists on discussing the existential dread of his pet goldfish. But fear not! With Carnegie?s sage guidance, you?ll soon find yourself magically transformed into a social butterfly?or perhaps just a slightly more charismatic caterpillar. As you leaf through this delightful relic, you?ll discover that Carnegie had a penchant for charming little anecdotes that often seem just a tad too rehearsed. Prepare yourself for tales of ordinary folks who became extraordinary by merely remembering names or smiling at strangers. It?s almost as if he believed that the secret to winning friends lay solely in showing a modicum of decency?a radical concept, no doubt, for the modern age of ?ghosting? and ?swiping left.? Yet, in the depths of these pages, lies a treasure trove of advice that might just prove useful for the persnickety social climber. You will learn to: Master the art of small talk about the weather?because who doesn?t love a good discussion on humidity levels? Utilize the startling power of a genuine compliment, especially if you can somehow manage to slip one in without sounding like a smarmy politician. Engage with people at parties by employing the subtle technique of nodding and smiling, which also serves as an excellent alternative to listening. Become a veritable magician of persuasion?abracadabra, my friend, may I interest you in my half-baked ideas? Navigate awkward social encounters with the grace of a tap-dancing giraffe. Condition: You might describe it as ?well-loved,? but in truth, it?s more of a ?been there, done that? kind of book. The spine is charmingly creased, facilitating those ?I read this cover to cover? vibes, while the pages display a certain patina of wisdom?or at least the remnants of a particularly enthusiastic coffee spill. Despite the evidence of previous ownership, it still retains an air of earnestness that would make Carnegie himself proud. So if you?ve ever wondered how to transform a casual acquaintance into a lifelong friend or how to sway a crowd with the ease of a seasoned politician, look no further. "How to Win Friends & Influence People" is your trusty guide, even if it?s a bit battered and bruised from all the socializing it has witnessed. Don?t miss your chance to own this quirky piece of self-help history, available exclusively from Crappy Old Books, where every book comes with a story?and possibly a questionable coffee stain or two.
