Review of How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

How to Win Friends & Influence PeopleHow to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book has great insight into human behavior. I know I will benefit from it. That said, it's a little dated (published in 1936, updated somewhat in 1981). It's very male- and management-centric. Rather than get myself into trouble with awkward phrasing, I'll just point to a recent Dilbert to make the point:

Write a book today on how to solve that problem, and you have a bestseller.

Nevertheless, I learned a lot from this book, and everyone can take away something useful from this.
