I found this book to be very helpful and useful.  The table of contents of the book contains sections focusing on:

1.  Fundamental Techniques in Handling People

2.  Six Ways to Make People Like You

3.  How to Win People to Your Way of Thinking

4.  Be a Leader: How to Change People Without Giving Offense or Arousing Resentment

This book is previously revised and updated bestseller focused on:

• Three fundamentals techniques in handing people
• The six ways to make people like you
• The twelve ways to win people to your way of thinking
• The nine ways to change people without arousing resentment

The author offers many suggestions on how to get the most out of this book such as reading the chapter rapidly first to get a good idea of the gist of the book but to not rush through the book as it will be too easy to miss out on the important techniques and principles.  The author also felt the reader should read the book with pencil, pen, highlighter or even a crayon to highlight any suggestion that you would feel is helpful. However, I would suggest if you're going to do this then use a notebook to note down any important points and/or suggestions instead of marking up the book.  Additional suggestions the author gives which I agree with such as reviewing the book each month, apply those points and principles at every opportunity and to use the book as a handbook to help the reader solve their daily problems.
