Some people might say a lot if not most of these are obvious. And I think that's true but it's also true that sometimes the best advice is the most obvious. It good to remind yourself to compliment not criticize, think of the other person's wants and needs and not just your own.
But besides that, what made me feel like this book was kind of useless was how it suggested you ALWAYS do it. ALWAYS compliment people, NEVER criticize. ALWAYS avoid arguments.
But also, honestly? Always complement, always smile, avoid arguments, make the other person feel important.... Literally what so many women are taught to do since they were born. It's laughable and poignant that Carnegie thinks this is some novel advice.
This book is pretty old and from the context, and by the fact that almost all the exemplar examples are men, it's obvious that this was written for white men.

Solid advice, but I fear if you follow all of it you will be void of personality.

Heel interessant boek over manieren van communiceren, weer veel van opgestoken (alhoewel dit soort boeken uiteindelijk allemaal hetzelfde zeggen - het zal waar zijn zeker?). Maar hoewel er aangehaald werd dat alles zo goed als mogelijk geupdate werd, beviel de schrijfstijl me niet helemaal.
Ondertussen gestart in een tweede boek van Dale Carnegie (stop worrying), waar de zelfde stijl gehanteerd wordt, maar helaas ook gewoon delen van dit boek.
Dus: Superboek, met veel 'principles' die me zeker zullen bijblijven, maar een aantal irritaties tijdens het lezen (stijl, nogal wat lof voor zichzelf, ...)

One of the worst titles in the history of books, but a great book. A key concept many other reviewers are missing is one of Dale's key principles of actually caring about what the other person is actually saying in order to relate, if you don't most people will see right through it. It is a classic for a reason, and I point many engineering type minds to this book to help progress their careers when their interpersonal skills are holding them back.
