84/100
👍 Worth It
Nearly ninety years on, Carnegie's advice on how to actually listen to people, remember what matters to them, and lead without steamrolling still holds up — that's rare for a book this old. This restored 2022 edition brings back material trimmed from the 1981 version, so even longtime fans get something new.
