I recently purchased this audio program and really enjoyed it. It is a modern updated version of Carnegies ideas.I am confused as to the first two reviews referring to this as a book--it's an audio program!How to Win Friends and Influence People is an all time classic as well as How To Stop Worrying and Start Living. I also recommend The Leader in You.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointment -- This is mostly not Dale Carnegie, September 23, 2006

closet romantic from New Hampshire (New Hampshire, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Dale Carnegie Leadership Mastery Course: How To Challenge Yourself and Others To Greatness (Audio CD)

The Dale Carnegie Leadership Mastery Course has only a little bit of Dale Carnegie's writings in it. It is mostly material that was written much more recently. The newer material is consistent with Dale Carnegie's thinking and modernized to use examples from the 1980s and 1990s, but the writing lacks the punch of Dale Carnegie's original books.

There are some readings from Dale Carnegie interspersed with the newer text, but they are short and don't seem to fit in very well. Most of the Dale Carnegie excerpts are from How to Win Friends and Influence People.

If you want to be inspired by Dale Carnegie, buy the audio book version of How to Win Friends and Influence People instead. It is a classic.

2.0 out of 5 stars Read the original Dale Carnegie book instead, October 29, 2002

This review is from: The Dale Carnegie Leadership Mastery Course: How To Challenge Yourself and Others To Greatness (Audio CD)

I have read Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and I have also listened to this entire audio program. Frankly, I think you'll get more benefit from the book. "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is just great - it's a classic, worth at least 6 stars on Amazon's scale of 1-5 stars. I'll give this CD 2 stars mainly because it has Dale Carnegie's ideas.

One more piece of advice: I have read Dale Carnegie's book at least twice and my wife has read it once. "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is a book you may want to underline, keep, and read again and again. Initially, I purchased the paperback version. I suggest you look for a HARDCOVER version. The spine of my paperback copy has fallen apart after several reads...
