I've read How to Win Friends... before but it, and How to Stop Worrying... were much more effective this time around as I am concurrently taking the Dale Carnegie course and have today completed the Effective Leadership Training course. These two books are something that I will be dipping into again, having read them from cover to cover, and trying to incorporate the teachings into my daily life.

The how to make friends portion can tend to be a little selfish, the influencing portion is astonishingly good and helpfull

Yes, the book is old, and yes, times have changed. And yes, a lot of the advice in this book is just common sense (for example: "Smile!"), but he puts it together in a way that each lesson builds on the other. I especially like his advice that the only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it. He doesn't just tell you what to do but gives examples of how people have put the advice into practice. I think a lot of people in any line of work where they have to deal with people, or anyone simply having a hard time making new friends, could learn something from this book.

Great book, and by using easier words, for a non native speaker like me, it would be a 5 star book.

Great book. Really liked what the author recommends and plan to follow his advice more.
However in my opinion you shouldn't apply everything to the point, because you will risk becoming a fake or a puppet.

Timeless classic still filled with life lessons.

არაფერი განსაკუთრებული, ბანალური რჩევებით გაჯერებული ფსევდო ფსიქროლოგიური წიგნი.

The lessons still resonate with me. Masterpiece!

Good one!!

Actually this book with really really helpful because I started my new school in 2012 and it really help with making friends I was reading it all summer. If you want to make friends this is a really good book

Easy and helpful read. Really smooth flowing read.

It was a great book has lost principles in this era, I really enjoyed the reading and also, the most important method defined in this book is about CARING for other people genuinely, not by a fake caring, but instead really caring, it helps to understand what Leadership is about, it was recommended to me by a good friend who has to face a Leadership position, and It was one of the best books I've ever read, I really recommend this not only for leadership but also for being a good person, it relies in the concept of really caring for others is the way you can influence people in a good way, maybe a simple word could be a trigger in other person's life, so be a good person and be thankful.
