Câteva take-aways din cartea asta:
- nu critica, nu condamna și nu te plânge despre alți oameni și despre acțiunile lor;
- fii cu adevărat interesat de oameni, laudă-i din suflet și ascultă ce au de spus;
- dacă faci o greșeală, recunoaște;
- fă-i pe ceilalți să se simta importanți - e una dintre nevoile de bază ale omului;
- dacă vrei o schimbare, incepe cu tine.

Una dintre cele mai bune cărți pentru dezvoltare personală pe care am citit-o. Chiar dacă e publicată de foaaaarte mult timp - un clasic al non-fictiunii- , informația pe care o conține e valabilă și de ajutor și cred ca se va menține așa pentru destul de mult timp.
Eu una am învățat foarte multe lucruri din cartea asta. Am citit-o lent, mi-am notat tot ce era de notat și încep ușor ușor să aplic ce scrie aici. O să fie cam greu dat fiind faptul că-s o persoană impulsivă și dacă mă enervez, mai greu cu controlul de sine, dar toate au un leac, nu?

Although this is a terrifically old fashioned book (Teddy Roosevelt and Charles Schwab are Carnegie's go-to examples of people embodying his philosophy), it's still a valuable read. Carnegie is promoting a lifestyle of thoughtfulness and good listening, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I got useful ideas for working with my colleagues in higher ed., and I got happy reinforcement for the enthusiasm I try to exhibit when teaching college freshmen who care very little about English comp. I'd love to know what Carnegie would say about the technology generation of over-sharers and selfie-takers, and I'd love to see someone write a similar book with contemporary examples and context that keep the spirit of Carnegie's philosophy.

The audiobook is corny but fun to listen to, though I've ordered a hard copy so I can re-read some of the passages about Abraham Lincoln and have easier access to quotes from history's political leaders.

A genuine page-turner. Carnegie, ever so ably, uses real-life situations to explain the principles to help you in your lifelong journey to win friends as well as get things your way through influencing people.
