• · This is a timeless classic
• · Successful people will review it often
• · It helps differently in different seasons of our lives

Couple specific thoughts from book overall...

Criticism

• · Today environment makes -A slippery slope
• · Do good but be authentic
• · Be YOU

Dealing with People

• · Communication is #1 skill
• · book about YOU not others
• · persuasion not manipulation

Influence

• · great leaders influence not manage
• · have a cause...
• · bring out best in others

Overall, I feel this book is one of the best ones I have read on how to Deal with People, Create Influence and Become a Better Leader. As Carnegie points out in the book, we are constantly dealing with people in business, and it is a key skill that must be developed to deal with day-to-day problems that we face. It is amazing to me that communication, influence, and people skills is not taught to everyone in school. If it was, i believe we would be much better equipped to deal with life and much better at communicating with those around us. Nevertheless, I believe that if you will read and apply the teaching in How to Win Friends and Influence People you will Create a Life of greater Happiness, Fulfillment and Prosperity.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks overview of the Classic Book by Dale Carnegie.
