What can I say this book totally justifies its title 'How To Win Friends and Influence People'. I mean this book is around 300 pages, 4 parts and 30 chapters and I can guarantee you, you can learn something important from each chapters. This book is for those who don't know what to and when to talk to people, including me. Anyways I can totally say that this book when it was published was way ahead of its time, this book is totally suitable for this generation and also works for next generation as well because this world is very much dominated by person who know how to talk to people.

And the writing style omg, it was just amazing, the way Dale Carnegie write some aspects was just flawless, it was like he himself narrating all the stories and his experience. There is nothing negative in this book if I pinpoint, only one negative point I can think of is some middle chapters were rushed quickly and not elaborated efficiently but that doesn't bother anyone.

So my final words would be read it just read it even if you are extrovert, ambivert or introvert give this book a try and you will be surprised that how much you need this book.

DNF - half way I just decided to put this book away... It genuinely just says be kind, be genuine and point out their good/strong points. And see how you can be less selfish and more focused on others. That's basically the essence.

I think the book is very outdated, even though the author did reference that it's best to re-reference the book at a later date once you do the first pass-through. I decided to DNF it because it's gotten to the point where I was just reading the final comment of each chapter because the explanations were getting too lengthy and I was losing interest.
