Upping to 5 stars.
I re-read this every couple of years and continue to get a lot of value.
I still dislike the name of the book... and some of the examples are a bit cringe... but the lessons on empathy and understanding the perspectives of others are invaluable.
Read the chapter titles, that's all you need
There is good advice in this book but I felt that the endless anecdotes illustrating each point were long and not terribly useful. I would've liked more concise examples. In any case the points are valid and worth considering for anyone. Carnegie seems to espouse an ego-driven view of people that people are rules by their sense of self-importance and worth. It seems shallow, but I think he's pretty much right.
valid points but I found it quite boring and couldn't finish. I think the points are really good but gets a bit repetitive and I understand the whole message quite quickly.
