I heard so much about this book back in college (positive and negative) so I figured I should check it out for myself.
There are a lot of good ideas presented here, but overall it didn't seem to go much beyond "be nice to others and they'll be nice and help you".
It was a lot of good ways to treat people, although most of the motivation seems to be trying to get people to do what you want them to do

The principles Carnegie lays out in his book are incredibly beneficial for any person in any industry and stage of life. Improvements are always possible, and while some of the principles are hard to swallow, being able to face your shortcomings and recognize that that principle is something to work on is imperative. I know that even just having completed my first read-through, I will be able to grow in my skills as a leader and as a friend.

This book is wonderful and timeless. The principles it teaches are easily applied to life situations and it has made me rethink the way I've been handling people. Its opened my eyes to a lot of behaviors that I've displayed that only hurt my relationships to people. I'm going to read this book at least once every year because it is so important to have these human relation skills. It has also been a great tool for combating anxiety issues.

I've just finished reading this book and for me it's been an eye opener. I now comprehend how and why so many of my personal and business relationships have not had positive outcomes. The book is full of plenty of suggestions to improve approaches to situations and conflict. I'd recommend this book to anyone.

You will end up losing respect for yourself if you apply this.
Overhyped. First 3 chapters were decent after that it was all trash. He wants people to become "nice" by prentending & being all rainbows and sunshine. He literally draws his lessons to become a bubbly person from a dog. He suggests we wag our tail & put huge smile, talk only about others interests, etc. It is so superficial. Which he thinks is great character. Wouldn't recommend. Be real Be authentic instead. The advice from this book will make you a people pleaser with no spine or self esteem. Any person with a common sense would give up reading this book just after a few pages.
