    So useful! A must-read!

    A very useful book! The chapters are short but powerful. I think everyone can benefit from reading this book because the concepts are so simple, yet often unused. One example: I teach violin, and I had a student whose tone was just awful, yet she thought she was a good player and wouldn't listen to my recommendations on how to improve her tone. I was getting so frustrated with her attitude, then a friend suggested "think about what she wants" (from the book), as the incentive, instead of "you need to do what I say". I realized what she wanted is for people to think she's an amazing player. So the next lesson, I told her, "I've been thinking, and I believe the way for you to really step up your playing to the next level and make people say "wow!" is if you can improve your tone." You should have seen her face light up. No joke! We spent the entire next two lessons working on tone, and she was eager to listen to everything I had to say. I was shocked, honestly, but I'm sold! I can't wait to try applying some of the other techniques in the book!

    A look into history with this self help book.

    This was very dated as I read it. I did not resonate with the stories.

  • Personal motivation. Easy to read, comprehend, and understand

    Received in lightning speed, Great Value. Great Price. It has been brought to my attention that this book is perfect for learning how to interact with others. Not just for salespeople who intend to increase their sales commission. But rather HOW learn to improve your communication and listening skills, so that one can interact with others and get along better. Even with those who have different (even polar opposite) views as yourself whether they may be political, social, economic, environmental, religious, or spiritual. Or all the above. This book gives you techniques to sharpen your already good skills but to improve upon them.

  • Great value

    I got a free trial of this book, and when it ran out I wanted more! This is a book you have to have in your house, and I was able to get it at a great price! Only downsides, printing sort of off on just the very 1st page, thin paper so you can see through, and inside of cover has that cheap feel

  • How to win people

    If you think of it as a tool, then I recommend to re-read each chapter and use critical thinking. This book could change your way of engaging with people. It is also a great read!

  • Learn to lead through getting people to want to participate in the process with you.

    I grew up hanging around my dad as he was listening to Zig Zeigler tapes. I thought I had a pretty good idea of what a competent leader had in their toolset. But this book is outside of that. I've never read anything like it (and I'm a big fan of the written word.) Concepts are clear and his ability to illustrate the reasoning behind those concepts blew me away. I am so grateful I ordered this (I bought it for my son, but started it myself and now I can't put it down!) Amazing book. Really, really, glad I bought it!

  • Perfect to read during COVID-19 crisis

    I’m reading these book during the stay-at-home order for COVID-19. How to Stop Worrying and Start Living is reminding me on a daily basis we are going to get through this. Dale Carnegie lived through World Wars, Great Depression and evening the Spanish.Flu!!! Books were in great condition.

  • MUST READ BOOK WHEN YOU...

    You must read this book if you’re looking for any mental growth in your life. Whether you want to be an all around nicer person, or you want to improve your life skills, maybe get into business or a new job, this book will teach you all about it. When you read, you’re living another mans life so you don’t have to learn from your mistakes and waste valuable time in your life experience. Even if you read one chapter every 4 days, digest what you learn, imply it to your life. I recommend reading “Think and Grow Rich” By Napoleon Hill after this book.My book came in great condition and I was excited to see it came about 2-4 days early. I been highlighting in it, and underlining ever since I opened it.

    I have bought this book several times in the past and given them each away as a gift. The principles are timeless and amazingly effective. The condition of the book was perfect - suspect the previous owner did not know what they gave away. A must have especially at these great prices!
