Carnegie's style is very much a product of its time. The content of the book is well suited for the social universe of Western World of the 1930s to 1950s, but I don't think it has aged well. Newer books like Never Split the Difference and Punished by Rewards have challenged some of the assumptions Carnegie's principles are based on. The entire thing seems somewhat manipulative and disingenuous based on feeding the ego of the other person.

While there are particles of truth here, I think Carnegie's principles put people in a more vulnerable position than they otherwise could be. Using these principles could very easily lead to being taken advantage of, both personally and in business.

Nevertheless, I think the Book is worth reading since it is so influential in the self-improvement genre.

Está bastante bien, aunque no recomiendo seguir todos los consejos al pie de la letra, porque probablemente acabarás bailándole las aguas a los demás sin extraer nada a cambio. Adopta la mentalidad, y úsala cuando lo veas conveniente.

I DNFed this book before and I was close to doing it again. While the concepts are good, it was so obviously written by an Alpha male and could use a revision.
