You will learn nothing new about interpersonal relationships, leadership, or mentorship every new chapter that you embark on is so 'in-your-face' obvious that you almost want to smack your own forehead like an over-dramatic soap opera star stating 'OF COURSE'.ĭespite this fact (I personally feel) it really is important to read all of these *truths* of life. There are absolutely *zero* revelations here. What I find so intriguing about Carnegie's concepts are that they are so obviously all just common sense. That is neither here nor there though my love for actual physical books as well as my preference for writing my responses and opinions all over the pages is not really relevant to this review. It's always an interesting dive into your own subconscious through the ability to see such a time capsule: what is basically a time-stamped example of opinions and the ever-changing priorities of your own ideals. (I really enjoy reading through all of the notes I've scribbled in the margins over the years. This almost always prompts me to pick the book back up again. Since initially relenting, I have now read this book multiple times throughout the years, and it never fails to pull me back into reality.įrom time to time I even find myself subconsciously summarizing Carnegie while hosting leadership training or while mentoring my workers. I bucked against reading it for a while before finally relenting (I was a precocious teenager and obviously already knew everything the world had to offer), and again, the title of the book seriously repelled me. He told me that it held the keys to effective leadership. My father handed this book to me when I was a young adult and I was about to make the leap into the working world. Point being, don’t let the kitsch title keep you from giving this book a chance, there is good information here. It is a book that reiterates the basic tenants of leadership in a work environment. This book is not a self-help book for people who want to make friends. I understand that it is meant to draw a customer’s attention, but the title, to me, does not at all represent the product.

I would like to begin the review by stating I have always found the title of this book incredibly off-putting.
