It was a wonderful book in which you know about the human nature as well as our problems while doing our work.

It guides us seamlessly towards the problems which we create while in a job or while handling humans.

A must read!!

More or less the content is same as how to win friends and influence people. How to win friends and influence people is a masterpiece for sure but if someone have read it, this one is not worth the time.

It contained many pieces of good advice; however, if some of this advice was done excessively, unwisely or wrongly one could end up as a doormat. Yes, the author said it himself, these techniques don't work with everyone. Nonetheless, it was an informative and good read.

The only reason I gave it 4 is because the back is just duplicated but I still learn something out of it such as relax and do things in order of their importance and also that criticism is often compliment in disgusted

This book is mainly a summary of 2 books

1) How to stop worrying and start living
2) How to win friends and influence people

If anyone has already read these books, they will be able to recapture the check points of these books in a concise manner and if you haven’t read anyone or both of the above 2 books then it’s a good read to help you inculcate certain Life changing ideas that can immensely help you face challenges and improve one’s overall personality.

Di buku ini kita diberitahu bagaimana untuk meraih kepuasaan dalam hidup dan pekerjaan dengan memaksimalkan potensi diri dan berusaha menjaga sebaik mungkin relasi dengan orang lain. Beberapa pesan moral yang didapatkan didalam buku ini yaitu tentang rasa syukur yang bisa membawa kebahagiaan, sumber utama yang menyebabkan kelelahan dalam bekerja, kunci untuk membangun relasi dengan orang lain, cara halus agar orang lain sependapat dengan kita, dan cara untuk memberikan kritik secara elegan. Setiap kita adalah unik, maka lebih baik tidak usah kita meniru orang lain, tetapi mari kita bersyukur dan temukan yang terbaik bagi kita serta jadilah diri kita sendiri.

How to enjoy life and your job is a decent read by Dale Carnegie. It's practically and extension of How to win friends and influence people. Most of the book is common sense, which again is not so common in the world. I can summarize the 16 points on which each chapter is based on as a ready reckoner in case someone wants to skip the book.
1. Always make the other person feel important
2. Greet people with enthusiasm
3.Appreciate people
4. (Also)Look at things from other person's point of view
5. Don't be harsh in criticizing. Understand that people are emotional beings.
6. Try and understand them instead of condemning people.
7. Be kind, appreciative and friendly
8. Let other people feel that the idea was theirs. Make them feel important. People don't like to be ordered and told what to do.
9. In order to change people, appeal to their nobler motives
10. Don't argue with people. Be diplomatic.
11. Don't call attention to people's mistakes directly.
12. Let people save face.
13. Admit to your own faults before pointing a finger at others.
14. Declutter your workspace.
15. Prioritize- Do first things first.
16.Don't procrastinate in solving a problem.
17. Organize, Depute and Supervise.
18.Act like you are enjoying your work. People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.
19.Be yourself. Be the best version of yourself.
20.Work in itself is not tiring. It's the anxiety and boredom which makes it so.
21. Don't take criticism personally. People are bothered about their own selves.

That's It. Go ahead and enjoy your life.
I will keep two stars for myself.

4.5 stars. Good book as expected from the great Moroni, Dale Carnegie. Although I think this wasn't really anything new from his How to Win Friends and Influence People. I read that a few years back so this was a good refresher.


Notes:

Good working habits:

1) Clear your desk of all papers except those relating to the immediate task at hand.

2) Do things in the order of their importance.

3) When you face a problem, solve it then and there, if you have the facts necessary to make a decision; don't keep putting off decisions.

4) Learn to organize, deputize, and supervise.

"The ability to enrouse enthusiasm among people is the greatest asset one can possess. The way to develop the best that is in a person is through appreciation and encouragement. There is nothing else that so kills the ambitions of a personas criticism from superiors." - Charles Schwab. And the company I work for kills that enthusiasm.

"If there is any one secret of success it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle, as well as from your own." - Dale Carnegie

To help kids to eat food, have them help make the food, they will feel self-importance and self-expression.

Mental work can't make you tired. Only physical work makes you tired. When you think you are mentally fatigue it is your mental and emotional attitudes.

One of the chief causes of fatigue is boredom. Boredom is the only real cause of diminution of work.

When people try to kick you and bring you down it is because you are accomplishing something and worthy of attention. It gives the kicker a feeling of importance.

If you get your head above the crowd, you're going to be criticized, so get used to the idea.

"The deepest urge in human nature is the desire to be important." - John Dewey

But being great, appreciated, or important is rarely gratified. How you get your feeling of importance determines your character. Many people play the victim or are helpless with their mental diseases and anxiety because they, somehow, claim importance with that. Which is utterly retarded.

Flattery is different than appreciation and gratitude. Flattery isn't sincere it doesn't come from the heart.

Arouse in the other person, an eager want.

When offering criticism, instead of saying a good thing and a "but" then the negative thing, use "and" instead.

Did not have high expectation this book, and it did not disappoint.
As much as he has repeated what he has written in “How to win friends and influence people” (as he really made it as sub-chapter in this book), several experiences of his students or famous people which he quoted still made me nod in agreement.
An easy read to make us understand how simple human interaction can be.

Summary of the authors’ two previous books which were the reason I have actually started reading books again.
While I am a fan of separate books I would not recommend this one if you have not read them. I would treat this book as a refreshment material inferior to the “originals”. If you don’t have time, find it and read the original books instead of this while reading the first time.

One of best book for mastering dealing with and dealing in fellow humans!

Things I liked:
1. The second part of the book is muc better and useful
2. A few lessons given are actually very useful in life
3. Book would've been rated much lower if it wasn't for the second part


Things I didn't like:
1. Not a lot in the book that couldn't be learned from the internet
2. Don't understand why many of the chapters were even there
3. Self help is not a good genre
