Hello bibliophiles, hope you are enjoying your current read. 

As an avid reader, my objective and desire is to read different genres and explore the world of books.

So today, I’m about to review a self-help book written by Dale Carnegie, international bestselling author.

 

How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie is a knowledge loaded piece of writing. It is filled with real experiences of individuals who used the techniques mentioned in this book. It touches essential areas of one’s life, such as career, friendship, interpersonal and professional relations, value of others and their perspectives, and many more.

In a simplified manner, Carnegie provides tips and tricks to deal with the difficulties of human life.

The book is not only about improving one’s attitude but stresses upon the values of cherishing

relationships and positive attitude in life.

It carries valuable advice, experiences and life lessons from successful individuals listed on the

pages of history. The real life experiences make the work of Carnegie authoritative and reliable.

If you're interested in learning simple techniques that could make you a people person, you should

definitely get your hands on it.

Although the book is a source of material wisdom, there were a few drawbacks (not major).

While reading so many experiences there came a time where I was engrossed in boredom.

At some places, there were repetitions which caused lowered interest. However, to compensate

these points Carnegie kept the chapters (or rules as he names them) short. Nevertheless,

the book is well-written, vivid in explanation, and clear in understanding.

I will definitely recommend this book How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

to youngsters, the job seekers, anyone desirous of personal and familial growth, and everyone in

between. It will not only polish your essential communication and conversational skills but also polish

your life and your attitude about life and others. On the scale of 5 I would give it a nice 4.5 rating.
