Book Description
AN UP-TO-THE -MINUTE ADAPTATI ON OF DALE CARNEGIE ’S TI MELE SS PRESCRIPTI ONS FOR THE DIGITAL AGE
DALE CARNEGIE’s commonsense approach to communicating has endured for a century, touching millions and millions of readers. The only diploma that hangs in Warren Buffett’s office is his certificate from Dale Carnegie Training. Lee Iacocca credits Carnegie for giving him the courage to speak in public. Dilbert creator Scott Adams called Carnegie’s teachings “life-changing.”
In today’s world, where more and more of our communication takes place across wires and screens, Carnegie’s lessons have not only lasted but become all the more critical. Though he never could have predicted technology’s trajectory, Carnegie proves a wise and helpful teacher in this digital landscape. To demonstrate the many ways his lessons remain relevant, Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc., has reimagined his prescriptions and his advice for this difficult digital age. We may communicate today with different tools and with greater speed, but Carnegie’s advice on how to communicate, lead, and work efficiently remains priceless across the ages.

THINK TWICE BEFORE BUYING THIS, Oct 5 2011
By Avid reader, occasional reviewer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Win Friends & Influence People in the Digital Age (Hardcover)
Do you like awful jargon? Bad writing? Meaningless "improvements"? Do you really want to buy a book with gobbledygook sentences like "Today's biggest enemy of lasting influence is the sector of both personal and corporate musing that concerns itself with the art of creating impressions without consulting the science of need ascertainment"?Frankly, this unfortunate "revision and updating" of the Carnegie book is a big step backward---a step you can avoid making by buying the original book, which is actually very readable. Whereas this "new" version is so full of mind-numbing jargon you'll want to pull your hair out.
Conclusion: Either this book is a tranparent ploy to make money, regardless of the quality of the work, or the book's owners employed the wrong people to "revise and update" it. Not sure which it is. But the effort did go awry.

Dale Carnegie Today, Nov 21 2011
By iaijohn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Win Friends & Influence People in the Digital Age (Hardcover)
This new "How to Win Friends and Influence People in the Digital Age" is an intelligent and easy read for anyone interested in communicating better for personal and professional reasons. I bought the e-reader version; it seemed appropriate. The book stresses the increased need to communicate better because today we communicate more. It is written in a contemporary style with current examples of why we need to communicate clearly and concisely. As it says in the book "We live in a driven, digital world..." where the need for immediate responses does not give much time for well crafted writing or speech. That is where the book can help."How to Win Friends and Influence People in the Digital Age" and the Dale Carnegie Course presents ways to thrive on the digital superhighway. For example Dale Carnegie's first principle, don't criticize, condemn, or complain, is especially important when your e-mail may be forwarded to anyone or everyone! Other Dale Carnegie principals are illustrated in the book in plain English and with current examples. In the original book there is a principle that people's names are the sweetest sound to them. In the digital edition screen names are described as reflecting people's personality on blogs, tweets and Facebook. In the end, the rise of social media connects companies and customers. The art of winning friends and influencing people today means making connections and staying connected.

insightful adaption!, Oct 5 2011
By Henning Lang - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Win Friends & Influence People in the Digital Age (Hardcover)
i know the books of dale carnegie since decades.in fact his most well known books "how to win friends" and
"stopp worrying and start living" made a real difference
to my life and my career!
as i have read this new adaption i was fascinated by its
value! in my opinion some of the original principles
are made even clearer and more precise!
e.g. the original principle "arouse an eager want" was adapted
to "connect to core motives" which makes it even more understandable
and usable for the reader! it makes it even more applicable
for sales-people or everybody wanting to convince others!
i discovered an approach to dale carnegies principles from
an attitude- and value-based sight! it is often stated how important
compassion and altruism is! we know from positive psychology
and other fields how important compassion is! the adapted principles
make it easy to apply this compassionate attitude everyday!
by reading this book (in fact the kindle-edition
which has been released in great britain end of september)
i was reminded of the principles, saw them
clearer and applied them immediately!
i have found my relationships growing stronger
and the athmosphere at work becoming more fun!(in no time!)
read this book and REALLY apply its principles and you will
be stunned by the effects on your relationships and work-life!
Listmania!
