- jacquesm 8y agoI'd like to vote against this recommendation. The people that live by Dale Carnegie's book can be spotted from a mile away and tend to come across as fake. This could be a cultural thing.
- sveng 8y agoI respect this viewpoint. Having read this book many times, I have grown to appreciate it. Particularly because I try to approach it from a position of seeking understanding, rather than attempting any manipulation. I managed lawyers, engineers, and scientists for many years. It is not easy, but it was worth it. And this book helped. I would rather read a great book 10 times, than 10 average books. Here is a one page summary: http://www.csus.edu/indiv/l/luenemannu/pdf/communicationprinciples.pdf http://www.csus.edu/indiv/l/luenemannu/pdf/communicationprin... This Dale Carnegie book is available in all public libraries and even online.
- sveng 8y agoThis book is a classic. Helps with looking people in the eye and starting—and sustaining—a conversation.
