My rating system:
⭐: nothing could possibly get any worse than this
⭐⭐: it wasn't bad, but I would never reread it
⭐⭐⭐: it was ok, not the best piece of literature ever, but enjoyable
⭐⭐⭐⭐: so close to perfection, but mistakes happen
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: perfection in it's truest form, nothing comes close to the feelings you get when reading this.


⭐ and a half stars.
This book was given a 1 and a half star rating due to its constant unending circling. every other page we would get referred back to something that happened a chapter ago, over and over again.

the writing wasn't phenomenal, it was ok, the information can only be used in certain business scenarios, the length is absolutely unnecessary since it can all be boiled down to at least 100 pages.

overall a waste of my time, but I wouldn't say it's the worst book I've ever read, as a nonfiction and fiction reader there will always be worse, but this was merely just a waste of time instead of something aggravating, disgusting, putrid, or corrupted. So it gets a pass for that.

Great audio book by Dale Carnegie.

I highly recommend this book.

Lengthy book but worth reading

THE FIRST STEP TOWARD SUCCESS IS IDENTIFYING YOUR OWN LEADERSHIP STRENGTHS. 
“leader” and they think general, president, prime minister, or chairman of the board. Obviously, people in those exalted positions are expected to lead, an expectation they meet with varying levels of success.leadership does not begin and end at the very top. It is every bit as important, perhaps more important, in the places most of us live and work.

I am reading this book for a book review i have to do for an organizational behaviour course.

This book is written by the Dale Carnegie association. There are 17 chapters that show the traits and situations of an effective leader.

The book focuses of communication, motivating others, building teams, having a positive state of mind, how to handle mistakes and criticism, how to set goals that can be achieved by the person and his team.

This book also sheds light on how to show genuine interest in people; being them coworkers, employees, or just friends. How to see the situation from the other person’s point of view is important too.

It’s an interesting book for anyone who is trying to improve him/herself and find a leader in their self.

This book feels somewhat dated (printing is 2017 but the copyright is 1993 and so are all of the 20th century examples), and the book is by "...and Associates, Inc." versus the namesake (who died in 1955). But I think it does a pretty good job aggregating Carnegie's notes, and offering structured and deep suggestions on self-improvement and talking points within an individual's workspace/etc.

My biggest criticism is that some of the anecdotes are dated or at times dropped in as abrupt paragraphs, enough that you can get really disoriented why the book's suddenly talking about Sally or David out of the blue. But in spite of that I think the book tried very hard to run these strategies home with thorough conversations about them. And I think it was successful in doing so.

Amazing! So many good insights. Practical stories. Easy to follow. Old but still so fresh.

كتاب ثري بالمعلومات الرآئعة
ولكن طريقة السرد مملة جداً لم تعجبني
لكني اردت ان استفيد من كل معلومة استغرقت سنة لكي اتممه

Great book... very knowledgeable

What I liked:
Various case studies to explain the context, for instance... One of the best case study mention in the book is story about a business person who got bankrupt and he had to leave his house with all things in it. So when they were leaving the house and doing the handover legal formality with the bank representatives the husband insisted of sending kids a day before this to some relative but the wife insisted letting the kids watch the whole process as she argued that she wants their kids to see this fall of his father's empire because she wants her kids to see their father coming back from this downfall & learn important lesson and they did saw him coming back to the same financial status in few years. They did learn from this and used this learning when they started their own career. Amazing case study

a gem of a book. i find dale carnegie’s books easy reading and inspiring. his books speak to me.

Tons of information. Ideas on how to be a better person/leader.

This book took me to long to finish but I was an amazing book. The beginning was a bit slow for me. Even so I kept on reading it taught me things I already knew but in a different way.

Overall really good but I plan on reading it again but it in a shorter period.
