It's the REAL "How to Win Friends and Influence People",
By info@funforbusiness. (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Benjamin Franklin Diplomat (87910.Three Audio Cassette) (Audio Cassette)
The book is really a compilation of letters, memos and accounts of Benjamin Franklin - probably the greatest diplomat in U. S. history. The language and prose of the audio book is somewhat difficult to follow since it's authentic style is from the 1700's. Listening to the audio book version straight through seemed somewhat dry, but gave me a distinct respect for the amount of thought placed in each word Franklin used that showed his genuine compassion for others methodically thought out in advance. The work does in fact provide a valid, first-hand account of the events leading to the diplomacy of the Revolutionary War, but my one fascination came from the way Franklin became such a gifted diplomat. He dealt with refining his own character imperfections out of his habitual life by finding a personal "flaw" and intently focusing on the correction of that single flaw for one week; thereby infusing a new "good" habit in lieu of the previous one. He truly learned "How to Win Friends and Influence People" before Carnegie thought of it...That small morsel of what Franklin did (and how) is worth the price of the book to me - and if you get it, you'll understand too.
