I like John Maxwell, but if your going to read a book on winning people, read dale Carnegies How To Win Friends And Influence People. If you already read the book and are tempted to read Maxwells book next... don't. Instead reread Dale Carnegie.

As someone who has never really had trouble interacting with others this book still offered a lot of insight. As always, Maxwell delivers a foundation for the topic of building a bond with whom ever one may cross In this world. I felt the book addressed principles that would benefit one In the professional and everyday world!

Very good, as typical of for Maxwell, laid out in easy to follow style. Nothing Earth shattering but essential tools.

Great book! I learned quite a deal from it. He touches on some important and useful life lessons in terms of relationships and daily interactions. Read it if you don't easily take to people (generally speaking) or often find yourself in negative dysfunctional relationships. And read it even if neither one of those applies.

I wasn't surprised when the author revealed that he is a devout Christian - the takeaway from this short book is that if you will win with people if you are a good, honest, and generous person. That's a better message than the list of psychological tricks I anticipated, but I can't say I really learned anything new. The non-stop anecdotes felt a bit formulaic, and some didn't make sense to me: A man slipped another (less fortunate) dad $20 to help buy circus tickets. So we should give others money in order to "Win" with them and make them like us? Not sure.

There was a lot of good wisdom in this book. There were also many examples and memorable illustrations. I find John Maxwell's books easy to remember. He puts his lessons in easy to process ways. Some people don't like that, but I think it's helpful.

A great book with valuable insight on how to interact with people. Not only does it teach you valuable tricks to appear friendlier, but the author notes many times that being a genuinely nice person who cares about others goes a long way. He gives practical, implementable methods to be better. The book also helps you understand the motivations of others, and gives you the freedom not to take everything personally.

Love John Maxwell's books. You can just count on him for consistently good and practical ideas for living out your life in a way that has a positive impact.
