He teaches these skills through underlying principles of dealing with people so that they feel important and appreciated. For instance, "let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers," and "talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person." Carnegie illustrates his p

"Changing my life." according to BP2. My Dad gave me a copy of this when I graduated highschool in the 90s but I wasn't "ready" for it yet, I don't even think I read it to be honest.

I had pretty much given up on making new adult friends. I had actually self-diagnosed myself with Asperger's because I was having such a difficult time trying to figure out why people (including myself) do the things that do. The realization that my marriage was being effected by my nearly empty toolbox of social skills promoted me to take personal re. but I found that it could be easy for a person to react quickly to conflicts Krystine In my honest opinion, several principles in this book are repeated around the book. I don't see it as a disadvantage, because repetition is the key to learning. I did think several of the principles explained in the book are common sense, but I found that it could be easy for a person to react quickly to conflicts. This book has taught me the importance of staying in control and how beneficial it is to be in control of our behaviors and act in a way of service to others. The examples described in the book made it simpler to understand the concepts that Dale is teaching. I recommend this book. "A good and fluent read, yet needs a bit of spice to make it applicable to our daily life" according to SI - BC. The book discusses many real life experiences from people at different positions and levels. It is a good read and is recommended for those who would like to improve their social skills. However, the book sometimes seems to be a bit far from our real day-to-day life. As a short example, it encourages you to admit your mistakes, or to tell the other person that you might be wrong. It fundamentally is a good skill and practical approach; however, the author should also discuss how and when to change your approach in cases where someone abuses this humble personality and good attitude.
