Reddit reviews How to Win Friends and Influence People

I strongly recommend "How To Win Friends And Influence People" by Dale Carnegie (ISBN: 9780091947460). This book is a must-read for any person who intends to socially interact with other people. It has some fundamentals in there that you already know about and it has some really good exercises and useful phrases that will most certainly help you with exactly what you are describing. I can't recommend this book enough. The fact that you recognize that you want to improve your social skills is a huge step in the right direction. Good on you for trying to improve. Everyone, at every level of social confidence, should try to improve. Best of luck to you!

First and foremost, you sound like you're a fantastic employee who is a huge asset to the company that will be losing you.

That said, if you communicate with people in real life the way you've communicated via this post, I can see why you had difficulty being listened to. It isn't enough to just be right about any given scenario; sometimes you have to eat your pride and lead someone into proposing the solution even though you knew what it was from the start of the conversation. More importantly, sometimes you'll have to allow something to be done incorrectly in order to show that you listen to and value the opinions and ideas of other people (Even if you know they're wrong from the onset). You can't be right all the time (Even if you are).

I recommend this to a lot of people: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.

I was talking about your post, not you. You need to educate yourself broseph, keep going to school and make sure you go to college (assume your age sorry). No one said you were fucked up, but the logic you were using in your post was definite f'ed up.

Read about the female experience if you're so confused. Also you may want to read up on how to talk to people in general.

Check out this book for starts

Don't take stuff so personally broseph.

Nice man, you really blasted through that book with speed. I like your review and agree mostly with it, especially about the porn issue. I know it talked about "your partner" a lot, but I didn't think this was a bad thing. For me, it was more changing my thought process because I knew if I ever did get in a relationship, that's how I would've acted. Changing my thought process away from that would be helpful not just in a relationship, but in all aspects of life.

I think your conclusions listed there are exactly what you needed to take away from the book.

Now for step 2, I recommend How to Talk to Anyone or How to Win Friends and Influence People. Either one is solid. A lot of the content is common sense or not applicable, but I'd say a third of it I apply now and have internalized in daily conversation. And sometimes, it's just good to review the fundamentals. You can probably get through the book in two days, I imagine. ..And then, Step 3 is when the fun begins.

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie should be MANDATORY reading, and I'm surprised to not see it on this list.

This book was read by Charles Manson himself so he learnt few things from it and I actually prefer an audiobook and that's what I am listening to sometimes ;) https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/0091947464
