You can tell this book is old

Written by Beau Conway from Gatineau, QC on October 4th, 2007

  • Book Rating: 2/5

The content of this book was out of date. The underlying theme of this book was that if you're worried about something...Don't worry about it! That's all fine and dandy but there were few methods that could be taken away and implemented in to one's life.

No Title

Very average from start to finish. Much of the storytelling was redundant and a bit long. Once an idea was vetted, it got repeated over and over again. Average.

Too Long.......

Not bad at first, but it drags on a little too long. Should have stopped the book after 9 CD's....Started to get too repetitive, and the message would have been recieved by then anyway.

Another worth while 'reading'

Another great book to 'read' It seemed a little like another book of his I've 'read' and I liked this one a lot also. Best quote to stop worrying... "Much of my life has been full of terrible tragedies, most of which never happened"

Required Reading!

Like "How to WIn Friends..." this is required reading. I love love love the narrator; he sounds just like I would imagine Dale Carnegie himself would be. The stories are a bit long, and the whole thing is somewhat repetitive, but a daily dose on the way to work sure did me a lot of good. Highly Recommended!!

A classic

Presented in an as-matter-of-fact style. Unlike many other self help books which give track after track of promises and no substances. This title contains many practical ideas. If you like Earl Nightingale, you'll enjoy this.

Excellence Revisited

I have listened to "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and I think it's one of the best books ever written on the "self help" topic. This book is also a great book, beginning to end, however I had a problem with the strong religious influence. Dale basically flat out said "If you can't handle your problems, believe in an imaginary being and stop worrying," as opposed to something like "We're all gonna die, life isn't always great, we'll just have to learn to deal with it and enjoy what we can." Other than that the personal accounts were excellent (I particularly enjoyed the one about Rockefeller,) and in general I feel Dale provides great inspiration.

At least he is Honest

Written by Dave Jackson on January 20th, 2005

Dale Carnegie took his "How to Win Friends and Influence People" added a couple of new topics, and called it a new book. On disc four he actually says "I'm not telling you anything new, this is information you are already aware of." I thought to myself "No wonder I'm bored." At least he is honest. A postiive attitude is important. I GOT IT OK? Yo've said that in EVERY book you've written. While filled with stories of inspirational people, he took 15 minutes to expain "Don't worry about the past as you can't change it." 15 MINUTES! HEY DALE! How about "How to edit yourself and get to the point!" for a book title. It DID have some insights into battling worry. Good advice. You just had to be patient. Very patient. For him to make his point. If you have read/heard his other titles, you will have overlap (and that was my problem) I was bored. If this was your first Carnedige title, you might enjoy it more than I did.

Very interesting and mind expanding!

Although long, this book is a great resource for anyone at any point in life. It gives both psychological reasons for things as well as personal experiences from people of all walks of life. I'm 28 and enjoyed it so much I had my mother and aunt both listen to it as well.

I thought it was cheesy. I turned it off after 15 minutes.

Carnegie, Dale

"Dale Carnegie is a self-help book author. Read a review of his self-help classic, How To Win Friends and Influence People .

Born in 1888 in Maryville, Missouri, Carnegie was a poor farmer's boy, apparently not seeing a train until he was twelve years old. In his teens, though still having to get up at 3 am every day to milk his parents' cows, he managed to get educated at the State Teacher's College in Warrensburg. His first job after college was selling correspondence courses to ranchers, then he moved on to selling bacon, soap and lard for Armour & Company. He was successful to the point of making his sales territory, south Omaha, the national leader for the firm. "
