Humans are relational beings. This is the best self-improvement book to know how to create meaningful and fruitful relationships.
I learnt a lot about dealing with people from this book. Still, many principles were quite repetitive.
I understand that this book was written in an entirely different period all-together, however, the pace following each point is far too slowed. Carnegie tells multiple stories for every argument he makes in relation to the human psyche and these all help to sell said arguments but also slow the book's overall pace down as you already know what the outcome of each story will be. Definitely some fascinating arguments and, given how short it is, I would absolutely recommend people to read How to Win Friends and Influence People but it is slow.
As the book went on, it became more of a chore to read. There are a lot of good ideas in the book, but I feel as though there are too many similar examples that have the same results and very few will stick with me.
