Great book on tape This is a great book on tape. I hate reading, and so I listen to the cds in the car. Very informative book, tries to get you to think in a new perspective. Definitely need to listen to it again. Would definitely recommend this product.
One of the best classic! Want to succeed in life. This is one of the Dale Carnegie's book that you got to have on your shelf. Inspired me on different level.
Good Customer Service The book arrived quickly. Unfortunately, it had been damaged in shipping. They refunded my cost within a day of me telling them about the problem. I recommend them. They were very professional, and I would buy from them again.
Satisfied Customer Love this cd set. I took this class 16 years ago and I wanted this for my son, instead I have been listening to this set and I love it all over again.
Thanks a lot.
Mastering the Obvious Despite being a quick read, these are concepts that have become so commonplace in the 80 years since the book was first published that I was disappointed with it. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND GOOGLING THE SUBJECT MATTER OVER BUYING A BOUND COPY. Here's what I already knew before reading the book, and pretty much what I gathered from it: (1) AVOID CULTURAL FAUX PAS: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Learn your host environment before you go. (2) THE GOLDEN RULE (3) AVOID CRITICISM or CRITICIZING WHILE BEING NICE: As Stewie Griffin coined it, the "compliment sandwich." (And the housekeeping "what if" scenario? Seriously? I'd ignore that one, BTW. Talk about your passive aggressiveness. If you are consistent in acknowledging a person's strong points, the occasional constructive criticism should not ruin a relationship.) (4) BODY LANGUAGE: Understanding body language varies across generations and geography. It is important, but there are more contemporary books that you can read for that. (5) FOCUS ON THE POSITIVES AND MOVING FORWARD: don't dwell on what's wrong and comparing a person's less desirable qualities to another person's qualities and don't dwell on the negatives of the past unless you're using them to learn and move improve. (6) THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK. (7) KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE: and try to understand how they might interpret what you say/do. (8) BE POSITIVE.
