You can go after the job you want…and get it! You can take the job you have and improve it! You can take any situation you’re in…and make it work for you! Since its release in 1936, How to Win Friends and Influence People has sold more than 30 million copies. Dale Carnegie’s first book is a timeless bestseller, packed with rock-solid advice that has carried thousands of now famous people up the ladder of success in their business and personal lives.

Ive heard a lot of good things about this book, and thats why I decided to read this book. And I need to say that this book didn’t live up to all of expectations, which in a way disappointed me a little bit.

This book will for sure give you a lot of knowledge to learn from it, but at the same time some of the chapters in this book were short and I think that they should have been longer.

This book brushes against a lot of topics in psychology, like how to make people like you, how to influence other, be a good leader and how to make people feel important. And by doing so it gives us very good knowledge we can use in real life.

As I said above some of the advices were good to have in mind but other once where completely garbage and ridiculous.

The writing style here was meh to be fully honest here. Solely from the writing style you could tell that this book was written some time ago. This book was published in 1936, and the writing style pretty outdated and somehow hard to read at first if you aren’t accustomed to reading so old books.

This book is very well researched and done, but some of the tactics presented in this book are manipulative in way which makes me not applied them to real life because thats not quite ethical to be walking around and manipulating people to do what you want.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
