3.5/5
Găsim multe sfaturi ok, care ne-ar ajuta în relațiile cu ceilalți, să câștigăm simpatia cuiva etc. Dar și cum să ne facem mai puține griji și să ne găsim pacea.
Câteva exemple:

- Evită conflictele
- Nu te plânge
- Analizează problema care te îngrijorează și imaginează-ți scenariul cel mai rău. Caută toate soluțiile. Ia măsuri pentru a avea un rezultat mai bun decât scenariul cel mai rău
- Fă o pauză și relaxează-te
- Nu te îngrijora prea mult, pentru că multe griji nu se adeveresc
- Fii onest
- Amintește-ți numele persoanei, deoarece înseamnă mult pentru ea
- Fii mai mult interesat de celălalt decât de tine
- Fii un bun ascultător
- Nu critica persoana, ci oferă-i laude și fă-o să se simtă importantă
- Respectă opiniile cuiva și dacă ai greșit, recunoaște imediat
- Dacă vrei să câștigi inima cuiva, începe cu interesele sale

Personal nu sunt împotrivă să urmăm aceste sfaturi, buna educație ne îndeamnă la așa ceva, fără interese ascunse. Adică să fii un om cu maniere, bine educat, nu gen omul drăguț care caută să facă pe plac tuturor și mai caută aprobarea lor, să-și satisfacă interesele prin ei. Așa om e genul pasiv-agresiv. Se simte un iz persuasiv, manipulator din titlul: Cum să câștigi prieteni și să influențezi oamenii. Cuvântul cheie e "influențezi"! Am impresia că Dale te învață să "pescuiești" oameni. Dacă folosești sfaturile în scopuri nobile, fă-o! Dar dacă vrei să "influențezi" pe cineva ca să-ți atingi un scop, las-o baltă, e plină societatea de așa indivizi!

i need to buy a copy of this book so i can read it again and again...need to mark it up with notes and revisit it throughout my career. it is a must read for anyone and everyone that manages, is managed, or works with people, in general. engineers definitely need to read this...we spend too much time crunching numbers, and not enough time thinking about these types of topics.

I listen to this on audio. I have no idea what page I'm on. However, when I get to the end of these books, I'm surprised and disappointed that it's over. Anything from Dale Carnegie is inspirational and helps immensely. This one made me realize how much I worry on things that don't matter. While I'm still worrying, the problem is actually gone. Dale Carnegie is one of the founding fathers of motivational and self help books and speaking. This is the only way to spend time with him, so I read often.

very good!..

My younger brother insisted (practically on pain of death) that I read this book. It definitely has great advice as to how to deal with people, particularly from a leadership standpoint. It mentioned quite a few of my own character flaws as things to work on, so I guess I have some homework. :)

I started "How to Stop Worrying..." but I'm not really a worrier, so I quit.

My boyfriend's brother sent us this book for Christmas. We laughed, but once we started reading it, we realized there's tons of great information on dealing with people. We've used tips from the book to deal with difficult situations. I have to say, although the book drags in places, it's still quite relevant despite it's age. :) A nice gift, and a nice read for your business/personal life.

A good reminder about how to interact with people for the most positive outcomes. As it stresses throughout the book, you should use it frequently as a reference book to keep the material fresh in your mind. I've already forgotten some of the points, but there are bullet point summary pages that can get you right to the information that you need.

The section about worrying is especially applicable in today's world. Many of the stories are based in the past, but it shows how common human elements repeat themselves throughout the generations.

I listened to this one on audio book during a few of my commutes to work in May or June. It was interesting listening, especially as it applies to work and families. I often think, boyfriends and friends I can choose, but the rest you just sort of have to deal with and make the best of. Dale's strategies really do work-- probably the reason why this book has been in print so damn long!

What I found interesting about the book was its use of examples. I felt not only was I reading a book about self-improvement for myself, I was reading it in action and how it affected other people's lives directly as well. Some of the history behind the stories were quite inspirational, and as you read on, you could see that more than one tip being discussed was being used in some of the stories. Be that as it may, I found some sections not pertinent to what I was looking for, particularly the last section. While all of it may not have been entirely useful for me, the parts that were will help me when I start to practice these habits on my own.

Read from cover to cover when I was in high school. Loved every bit of it. It was a gift and a treat. And what a beautiful gift. ❤️

Learned a few good lessons out of this book. Definitly planning on re-reading

What I like most about How to Win Friends... in hindsight is that I can now pretty much tell within 15 minutes of talking to a person whether or not they have read this book. Here's my secret: Once you've decided that you don't actually enjoy talking to a person, but continue to do it anyway for reasons you can't explain, you'll know that Dale Carnegie has infiltrated your system and is slowly taking over.
