Title: How to Win Friends and Influence People - by Dale Carnegie: Book Summary

Author: Dean Bokhari, BOOK SUMMARY GetFlashNotes.com

Narrator: Dean Bokhari

Format: Unabridged

Length: 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-06-16

Publisher: FLASHBOOKS, LLC

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 102 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

This grandfather of all people-skills books was first published in 1937. It was an overnight hit, eventually selling 15 million copies. How to Win Friends and Influence People is just as useful today as it was when it was first published, because Dale Carnegie had an understanding of human nature that will never be outdated.

Financial success, Carnegie believed, is due 15 percent to professional knowledge and 85 percent to "the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among people." He teaches these skills through underlying principles of dealing with people so that they feel important and appreciated. He also emphasizes fundamental techniques for handling people without making them feel manipulated.

Carnegie says you can make someone want to do what you want them to by seeing the situation from the other person's point of view and "arousing in the other person an eager want." You learn how to make people like you, win people over to your way of thinking, and change people without causing offense or arousing resentment. For instance, "let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers," and "talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person." Carnegie illustrates his points with anecdotes of historical figures, leaders of the business world, and everyday folks.

great job!

will practice all the priciples in this summary! some of it reminds me of what I've heard in Improv acting class and in past sales trainings.

Great review; full version will drive the points home better though

This was great, but I wouldnt recommend only reading/listening to this review if you really want to drive the lessons from the book home.

The full version is full of useful anecdotes that do just that, and that was helpful for me- a naturally introverted person with little natural social acuity.

Great!

The "...and blah, blah, blah" is rather off putting.

I think the recap is quite helpful.

great summary. very good narrator

great summary. very good narrator would recommend for a brief introduction to see if you want to listen to the entire book

helpful and insightful

helpful, had to go back a few times to really get it. narrative not bad

Title: Do You Talk Funny?

Subtitle: 7 Comedy Habits to Become a Better (and Funnier) Public Speaker

Author: David Nihill

Narrator: David Nihill

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-24-15

Publisher: FunnyBizz Books - David Nihill

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 317 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Public speaking can be terrifying. For David Nihill, the idea of standing in front of an audience was scarier than cliff jumping into a thorny pit of spiders and mothers-in-law. Without a parachute or advanced weaponry. Something had to change.

In what doesn't sound like the best plan ever, David decided to overcome his fears by pretending to be a comedian called "Irish Dave" for one full year, crashing as many comedy clubs, festivals, and shows as possible. One part of the plan was at least logical: He was already Irish and already called Dave. In one year David went from being deathly afraid of public speaking to hosting a business conference, regularly performing stand-up comedy, and winning storytelling competitions in front of packed houses. He did it by learning from some of the best public speakers in the world: stand-up comedians.

Do You Talk Funny? shows how the key principles of stand-up comedy can be applied to your speaking engagements and presentations to make you funnier, more interesting, and better looking (or at least two of the three). Whether you are preparing for a business presentation, giving a wedding toast, defending your thesis, raising money from investors, or simply want to take on something you're afraid of, this book will take you from sweaty to stage-ready. Ten percent of the author's proceeds from this book will go to Arash Bayatmakou via Help Hope Live until he is fully back on his feet and thereafter to one of the many facing the same challenges after suffering severe spinal cord injuries.

A Textbook for a Take Action Program

Would you listen to Do You Talk Funny? again? Why?

I'd listen to Do You Talk Funny again because he is implementing in his writing and editing what he's trying to teach us. So, he'll teach you something, and you'll quickly realize he's actually using that mechanism himself.

What other book might you compare Do You Talk Funny? to and why?

David has clearly done his research. Unlike most authors, he doesn't just change the words of the ideas he's 'borrowed' and make himself come off like a scholarly expert. He simply wraps his ideas in the quotations of people we all know, like and trust. It's as if he had an idea, discovered the formula, and implemented the wisdom from many - many people; as we all do naturally.

Have you listened to any of David Nihills other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've heard David live - and it's easy to imagine how the simple techniques he covers can actually be learned. He went through an intensive obsession to master his fear of public speaking. He immersed himself in standup comedy, figuring those people are the best suited to deal with fears in public speaking.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The first time I met David, my face was literally falling apart I was laughing so hard for more than an hour. Great stories, Humor ( the formula is included ), and what I now know is rehearsed spontaneity are all pulled together with some delivery techniques that absolutely had him controlling the audience (chapter #6 in the book)

Any additional comments?

What struck me about the book is how confident I felt I could absorb the material.

Title: Power Cues

Subtitle: The Subtle Science of Leading Groups, Persuading Others, and Maximizing Your Personal Impact

Author: Nick Morgan

Narrator: Stephen Bel Davies

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 45 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-09-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 36 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Take control of your communications - before someone else does.

What if someone told you that your behavior was controlled by a powerful, invisible force? Most of us would be skeptical of such a claim - but it's largely true. Our brains are constantly transmitting and receiving signals of which we are unaware. Studies show that these constant inputs drive the great majority of our decisions about what to do next - and we become conscious of the decisions only after we start acting on them. Many may find that disturbing. But the implications for leadership are profound.

In this provocative yet practical audiobook, renowned speaking coach and communication expert Nick Morgan highlights recent research that shows how humans are programmed to respond to the nonverbal cues of others - subtle gestures, sounds, and signals - that elicit emotion. He then provides a clear, useful framework of seven "power cues" that will be essential for any leader in business, the public sector, or almost any context. You'll learn crucial skills, from measuring nonverbal signs of confidence to the art and practice of gestures and vocal tones to figuring out what your gut is really telling you. This concise and engaging guide will help leaders and aspiring leaders of all stripes to connect powerfully, communicate more effectively, and command influence.

Title: Steal the Show

Subtitle: From Speeches to Job Interviews to Deal-Closing Pitches, How to Guarantee a Standing Ovation for All the Performances in Your Life

Author: Michael Port

Narrator: Michael Port

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-06-15

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 434 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

An inspiring program full of essential advice for spotlight lovers and wallflowers alike that will teach listeners how to bring any crowd to its feet

Every day there are moments when you must persuade, inform, and motivate others effectively. Each of those moments requires you, in some way, to play a role, to heighten the impact of your words, and to manage your emotions and nerves. Every interaction is a performance, whether you're speaking up in a meeting, pitching a client, or walking into a job interview.

In Steal the Show, New York Times bestselling author Michael Port draws on his experience as an actor and as a highly successful corporate speaker and trainer to teach listeners how to make the most of every presentation and interaction. He demonstrates how the methods of successful actors can help you connect with, inspire, and persuade any audience. His key strategies for commanding an audience's attention include developing a clear focus for every performance, making sure you engage with your listeners, and finding the best role for yourself in order to convey your message with maximum impact.

Michael Port is one of the most in-demand corporate speakers working today. His presentations are always powerful, engaging, and inspirational. And yes, audiences always give him a standing ovation.

Members Reviews:

More self-absorbed than authentic

Firstly, I was a big Michael Port fan. To an extent still am. This book is just... Hmmm, I wouldn't say it's too practical, because it isn't, really. It just feels as if Michael has all the answers, and he's eager to tell you how to do things.

Problem is, his method (practicing a lot) is:

1. described well in other books, like Carmine Gallo's books.

2. quite formulaic.

The latter can be okay, if only authenticity didn't suffer, and I think it does in this book. Michael is too enthusiastic, too upbeat, too great, too... full of... himself, or his approach.

To supplement Carmine Gallo's books, I highly highly highly recommend Caroline Myss' Your Creative Soul: Expressing Your Authentic Voice. Truly remarkable. Maybe too spiritual/intuitive for some, but damn I love that book.

Another promising book (haven't finished it yet) is Todd Henry's new one Louder Than Words. It's surprisingly good.

Presentation tips for beginners

There is good advice in this book, but it has two problems for me: too basic and not enough value for almost 8 hours. I kept pushing the 'forward button' until I gave up. A lot of what I heard was presentation 101.

The rest was filler, as if the author had been advised an audiobook must be at least 7 hours to be worth the price. I simply did not find it engaging. I can see how this could be a very useful book for someone who has never given a presentation with 8 hours to spare.

Great book with immediate actionable content

The was an awesome book. The content is something you can apply immediately to your work, wether it's to become a better sales person, land your dream job or launch a speaking career.

Great advice to become a better performer in life.

Very good

Michael doesn't just give tips for public speaking. This is a comprehensive plan of how to prepare and present in public and private situations.

Improve Your Conversations teaches you how to use the ingenious framework from improv comedy and apply it directly to your everyday social interactions and conversations...and can't we learn something from the greatest improv comedians in the world, like Tina Fey and Will Ferrell?

No, this is a book of real tips that you can implement today to immediately increase your conversational fluency and flow.

Members Reviews:

If you really need help with the basics

This book is very basic. I was looking for information on how to "level-up" significantly, since I consider myself to have good conversation skills already. If you are really bad at conversation and need clear guidance, this this book could help. If you are already a decent conversationalist, then this may be too basic for you.

Excellent Book

Easy to listen to and had very helpful tips on improving my conversation skills. I normally don't a review but I felt this book was worth the time to let people know it was helpful to me.

Well worth the price

It was a lot of good tips that address my own problems in conversation. After listening to this book, I think the only conversational problem I don't have is interrupting people.

Just the basics repackaged

So the author starts by saying that he is a FAILED stand-up comic. So the rest of the book is about how social skills relate to IMPROV which is a totally different thing. Lessons include not changing the subject and then in the next chapter you learn that you can totally change the subject whenever you want. There really is nothing here that is not intuitive to even people who did not do improv. The largest portion of the book is the author sharing his personal story and talking about how much he loves Will Ferrell.

It does what is says

This book delivers on the goods in a short sweet package. Its already improved my conversation game. Highly recomended

Publisher's Summary:

The next step in personal effectiveness, by the acclaimed author of The Accidental Creative and Die Empty.

There has never been a better time to build an audience around your idea or product. But with so many people and companies clamoring for attention, it's also more challenging than ever to do work that deeply resonates with the marketplace and creates true and lasting impact.

According to Todd Henry, the key to standing apart from the noise is to find your unique voice. Those who identify and develop their voices will gain more attention and wield more influence. But first they have to identify what they truly stand for, develop a compelling vision, and become masters of expressing their ideas in whatever media they choose. Henry offers strategies, exercises, and true stories that illustrate the five attributes of resonant work:

Making your work speak is a life-long process of trial, error, and realignment. Henry's audiobook will help listeners build a body of work that resonates deeply and achieves lasting impact.

Members Reviews:

Great content, but wished author could have read it.

I have been following Todd's work for a while. I enjoy his podcast and think that I would have enjoyed the book more if he had read it.

The content is very actionable, I will probably buy the book (hard copy) and read it instead of listen to audio again.

A Book for Growth

Loved it! Finished in one Day !! It answered questions I've been asking myself for years. A must read.

Great book

Where does Louder Than Words rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Its one of the best books I've listened to on Audible

What did you like best about this story?

This is a must read book for anyone who creates for a living. It's all about developing your authentic voice. One of my favorite Todd Henry quotes is "Cover bands don't change the world." This book helps you get unstuck in the creative process.

What about Jeff Cummingss performance did you like?

The narrator was good, but not as good as the author.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

its just a very eye opening book.

Excellent book!

I got so many ideas and sparks for improving my work while listening. Also, I am now inspired to purchase both the ebook and hardcopy versions to better work with the material presented. Definitely worth the time and money. I highly recommend this!

Very practical

You will definitely get what your looking for even if you don't know what it is
