Seriously, this tells you HOW TO BE POPULAR, in the sense of being "well-liked". Dale Carnegie's daughter reveils the socializing secrets for girls here.

It's one of the best non-fiction books I've ever read. This is an easy read, and it changed my life in terms of my social interactions. I really wish I had it back in middle school in high school so I could have had a lot more friends!

Adults, buy this book for the teen girls in your life...they'll love you for it. Girls, get this book as soon as you can. You'd be depriving yourself if you pass this by. Believe the hype, this is truly an excellent book.

Childhood ends at the age of 13 and it's when problems start coming in. Friendship quarrels, parent-daughter fights, even boy problem.

This books deals with any problems a girl gets in her teenhood. Being a teen is not easy, especially when you're a girl.

I'm 15 and am studying in a girls school. You won't believe the amount of backfighting girls get in a year. You don't even know who's your friend anymore. Discrimination takes place on nerds and geeks. Mother-daughter trouble (it's funny why only the mother gets all the problems while she was the one who gave birth),laziness (it's always when you're a teen that you lose all your interest in studying, this applies to most teens).

This book teaches you how to prevent from discriminating, how to make people like you by avoiding arguments, giving an ear to a conversation, smiling and being humble.

It's a question why most girls now have to cope with so much stress at such young ages. This book also teaches you how to lessen stress.

All in all, Girls must read this book! It can save your life and your reputation.

My daughter started an All Girls private middle school this year. Some of the girls are catty and formed their own exclusive cliques (since they've been with each other since Kindegarten), my daughter was definitely the new girl in the class. The school policies are much more strict and demanding than the school my daughter transferred from. So I sought out a vehicle that would not only allow her to adjust in any situation, but allow her to thrive and soar in any environment. This is definitely the book to accomplish social success. What is most amazing, is that the book really teaches how to focus on the greater good of a situation...but the best secret is....just when the reader (my tween daughter) thinks she has found the tool to make positive things happen through the workings of others...she is the one that is actually changing for the better. She has a brighter and positive outlook on life and any situation. Now she doesn't look at certain things as a problem...she see's them as a "challenge" that she has to figure out how to make better. Oh did I mention we are only half way through the book....AWESOME.

This book gives good advice for REAL situations that are often encountered. The advice is good in that it encourages girls to "let it go" rather than holding a grudge, explains how to keep the peace with their parents, and is chock full of good examples. The advice is geared more towards teen situations (or tweens) but is good advice to anyone!

When I was growing up, I had a friend that was told by his dad that he could not leave the house until he read " How to win friends and Influence people " Well, he read the book and during the next year I seen many changes in him and he became the most popular kid in school. I have five sons and I made sure they read it and they are all doing great today!
I purchased this book for my teenage grandaughter..

My ten year old daughter read this book in an afternoon and enjoyed it. It was about right for her age (7-10 year range). It could have been more interesting according to her, but it was interesting enough and a short read that it was completed in a day. It had sections on how to tactfully handle bullies, etc. Over all an okay - good read.

a good if not brilliant book that was thought provoking. i would reccomend it to any girl who wants to make friends and/or become a better more likable person. it will help.

I received this book in like new condition and in a timely manner. I plan on giving it to my granddaughters to read.

I bought this book so that my 10 year old could read it to me at night. Unfortunately the book is too difficult for her to read since it uses some pretty large words frequently. However, I can't wait for my children to get older so that they can read the book as I think it will help them so much. If you have a smart teenager then this book is for you, if they are not good readers or under 13 then I would not recommend this book.
