Win Friends & Influence People Launched!
Posted in My Projects, World on January 11th, 2006
Having invested well more time than I had intended, I’ve finally launched my guide to the ideas in Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People (links to amazon).
Check it out: http://www.notesofintelligence.com/influence
If you have any feedback or comments, please leave them below!

I personally consider one only has to read only the first few sentances of this book; I really do! I personally am amazed the the book is still selling a people feel this apparent urge after reading those first few sentances.
Think of that dog, a young dog who meets you, is really interested in you, is delighted to be meeting someone new, his tail wags, he’s met some new friend, someone he’s genuinely interested and happy to meet for the first time. We ALL react to sincerity and friendliness; dont we? It’s nice to be nice & all of that. So, that’s the key, be interested & sincere, just like that dog. If you’re still reading the whole book after all that, oh I dont know.

I fully agree, personally I think this book is a lot of common sense and some bs, too

I’m glad you appreciate it. I’m not too worried about copyright issues. There are very few word for word lifts of the original and, fortunately for me, you cannot copyright ideas. That is what is driving businesssummaries.com.

Nice summary, the fundamentals of human behaviour don’t change.
Now how to get the difficult people in my life to read it themselves…

Excellent layout. How to win friends and influence people does not always translate to different cultures. A Swiss German will always react different to a Californian. However Carneige at heart is saying that we are all human and want to be appreciated which I think is a universal truth.

Thank you so much for this! I’m about to begin orientation for graduate school, and I’ve been too busy to read the book. I tried to check out the audio version and its $50 at the bookstore! I read a review that said this book just reminds you of some of the common sense ideas we tend to forget when meeting people. This summary does exactly that. I can’t thank you enough.

Thought the summary was good… book even better, easy read.
In reaction to ky’s statement: the book does not always translate to different cultures… as a student specializing in psychology I agree that many psychology principles such as ones found in this book can not be generalized to all cultures. The main ideas behind Carnegie’s writing are such strong and culturally diverse principles that I really can’t find an instance where they do not apply to other cultures. Please let me know which applications of this book are not culturally translatable, thanks.
oh and Ed Coyle: The book does mirror a lot of social psychology principles which means it does basically explain human thought, behavior, and emotion, and how these things are influenced by the actual/implied presence of others. This is something we as humans do naturally each and every day. You might get a little more from the book by reading it in its entirety rather than only the first few “sentances.” Though I may be wrong, atleast you’ll find yourself learning the true spelling of “sentences.” ha.

The cheat sheet doesn’t seem to work in IE6 or Firefox 2.
Good summary.

Congratulations!! I loved your summary. Actually I was making my own from the audiobook and lost some points. So I navegated to find the index… and bumped into yours. INVALUALBE… and besides you pointed the “Tipping point” out.. which is new for me and seems completely intersting!.
Thanks!1

Congratulations and well done! I enjoyed reading the summaries. Why don’t you offer a printable version as well? I’m sure many people would love to print your summaries out to use as convenient handy references.
Thanks again, hope to hear from you

Thanks for the quick read! May I suggest a quick review of your notes with a spellchecker? I noticed just a few words that were mispelled.
Otherwise, very useful! Thank you! mo

Thank you.
I read the book a long time ago and now I’m starting a job where I will need to act according to what the book suggests. I had forgotten the details of the book, but here you have made them easily attainable.
Thank you and keep up the good work.
