Customer Reviews

I recommend this to everyone! No exception!
I assure you that unless your father is John D. Rockefeller, you will certainly learn something new on the subject of handling people by reading this book!

Have you ever wanted to rationalize human interaction into a set of logical rules? Have you ever wandered how you can become better at it?

This is such an interesting subject, yet it's never taught to us in school. We are somehow expected to learn these skills by trial and error over tens of years. Why would anyone want to waste so much time when books like this are readily available?

Everyone should read this book.
In summary, this book is really interesting and informative and gives good examples which backs up the theory. Some of it is obvious, but nonetheless worth a read. I think everybody should read this book - some people are so miserable and have no social skills. I think I may send a copy to some relatives (anonymously, of course) as they could do with heading the book's advice! I'm going to keep my copy, however, as it is good to refer to it to remind yourself of the advice.

The ratings speak for themselves
I read in 'How I made it: 40 entrepreneurs reveal all' by Rachel Bridge that this book had influenced someone greatly, to the extent that they became a millionaire, and thought no more of it. I then also read in 'Forbes 20 greatest business stories of all time' that this book had also influenced a very successful person (whose name I can't recall!)

This interested me enough to purchase Dale Carengies book and I think it is very well written and the advice contained within it is sound. All you need to do is look at the many good ratings and reviews of it on Amazon. If that doesn't tempt you, nothing will.
