cuchupuquita 's review for:
How to Win Friends & Influence People
by Dale Carnegie
Read this book because my dad basically begged us to. After reading it I first must say he definitely does not follow what this tells us to do.
In general I do think there are very useful suggestions within the book, that I'll certainly be applying in the future, however while it seemed like such a good book at first it progressively became worse and worse as I kept reading.
I became so repetitive in my opinion, at some point I felt like I was reading the same thing over and over again, but the author just wanted to keep using more and more examples to make me believe these wealthy people actually care about the working class. Which leads to my second problem, I felt like the stories were simply fake, and even if they are not quite fake, like the employers were mostly gaslighting the employees into thinking they actually care about them.
While the book explicitly states that in order for the tips to work, you actually have to care about the people you are talking to, but how true that actually is for these wealthy people? Even though I do believe we are all capable of caring and loving for others, some people simply don't believe that for themselves, and usually tend to read this kind of books hoping to find the solution to wealth without rethinking how they view the world and others.
