It is about Assertive Communications Skills, But Nothing Really New |
The Dale Carnegie audiobooks by Nightingale Conant tend to be too basic and common sensical, trying to repackage the" Win Friends Influence People", "Stop Worry Start Living", or "Public Speaking" principles in new bottles for the New Economy Age. Good endeavors, but tend to fail to provide the wow, useful new ideas.
Bought "5 Essential People Skills", "Make Yourself Unforgettable", "Stand and Deliver", "Sales Advantage", "Dale Carnegie Leadership Mastery" and "Leader In You". All of them are newly recycled, repackaged, old ideas of Dale Carnegie's "Win Friends Influence People", "Stop Worry Start Living", or "Public Speaking". They are not as informative as other great audiobooks in the market like "Crucial Conversation", "Difficult Conversation", and "Articulate Executive" by which have more twists and new things to say about leadership communication and persuasive communication. If you need to buy audio books of Dale Carnegie, just buy Dale Carnegie's original, unabridged "Win Friends Influence People", "Stop Worry Start Living" audiobooks. Old too, but relatively more meat and better organized. Besides, you can get them from audible.com easily.
Dale Carnegie & Associates really needs to hire more gurus or outside consultants to help update and upgrade their outdated content (not the principles!). When I showed those Dale Carnegie timeless principles to my 12 years old, he said they are too elementary and common sensical in the internet 2.0 Age. Like KFC, Dale Carnegie is an aging brand that needs rebranding and remarketing to stay relevant and practical to the readers or audience. |

not helpful |
|
I know a lot of self help materials basically talk about common sense that we already know. But at least most of them serve as a reminder and a lot of good ones lead you into further examining it and once in a while you come up with an "Ah Ha". However, this book seems to limit itself to certain situations. It doesn't give enough examples and the "skills" it mentioned sometimes just don't make sense. |

Good, but basic |
|
The ideas are good for all. The format is overly repetitive and some of the examples seem a little simplistic. |

|
A must for all |
|
This was a very helpful audio CD that enabled me to easily use its content to my advantage in many different situations both in work and home life. |

AN ESSENTIAL LISTEN ! |
|
This six cd set is a real bargain at the Americancivilwar price, it sells for three times as much elsewhere. It is a programme that must be listened to many times to get the maximum benefit, but is well worth it. I recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their communication skills, which is really everyone on planet Earth. It is a must have programme. |
