Interesting book
4 stars
I learnt a lot about dealing with people from this book. Still, many principles were quite repetitive.

(8 reviews)
Six ways of making people like you, twelve ways of winning people to your way of thinking and nine ways to change people without giving offense or arousing resentment.
Started off really strongly, but quickly became boring
3 stars
As the book went on, it became more of a chore to read. There are a lot of good ideas in the book, but I feel as though there are too many similar examples that have the same results and very few will stick with me.

2 stars
This was on my list of 'books to read to see what all the fuss is about'. It basically boils down to 'be nice to people when you are dealing with them and they will respond better than if you criticise them'. Like most self-help books, not exactly rocket science, but it's no doubt made the author and his publisher a small fortune and I wish I'd written it.
