How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie book


Author: Dale Carnegie

Number of Pages: 275

Publisher: Ebury Publishing (A Random House Group Company)

Genre: Non-Fiction (Self Help)

Book Review:

The book was recommended by a friend. Without giving it a second thought, I bought this book after seeing lots of positive reviews about the book and the praise for the author. This is one of the best behavioral books to read for all!

The book is divided into four parts giving a thorough study of 30 principals all meant to be very much helpful for any person in life. The best part I liked about the book is that I could relate some of the case incidents quoted by the author, Dale Carnegie with my life and I found them to be absolutely right. 

The book is very well researched and presented in a very precise manner. This book should be included in the school as well as college curriculum and should be read at least one time every year to keep the principles in mind. No matter you are in any industry whether it is marketing, finance, healthcare etc., if you follow the principles in this book. you definitely will find it relate able and a worthy read.

Rating:

I would give the book 5/5 though a rating of 5/5 would also be not that sufficient for the amount of research and significant effort that has been done to write the book. Truly recommended book for all!

    I used to read mostly the self-help genre until I got sick of reading the same things again. I have to agree that for a beginner, this is an amazing book with lots of wisdom. You reviewed it quite well :)

The Best Laid Plans by Sidney Sheldon - a review

By
The Best Laid Plans by Sidney Sheldon Title :- BEST LAID PLANS Author :- Sidney Sheldon Number of Pages :- 344 Publisher :- Harper Collins Genre :- Suspense/Thriller My Verdict:-  I came across this book while browsing Sidney Sheldon's books. The one great thing about the author I like the most is that he plans and implement the plot very cleverly. He knows how to pull the readers attention and he is very much successful in building up the suspense throughout the storyline. This book is about jealousy, anger, ego revenge and all sorts of similar emotions you can think of. The plot is extremely well executed and Sidney Sheldon knows well when to open up the mystery. The conspiracy theory he brings in in this book is pretty much attention grabbing which will lead you to crave for more. It is about two characters primarily, Leslie Stewart who is a beautiful PR executive who learns through her experience that power is all she needed for the revenge. Oliver Russe...
