I read Dale Carnegie's 'How to win friends and influence people' over twenty years ago and enjoyed its focus on an easy manner and its gentle persuasions to find out more about a new acquaintance rather than trying to hoist my own life stories on them. This is a welcome and expanded look at some of Carnegie's thoughts on dealing with people as well as living a successful life.One suggestion stood out in particular - the need to accept the imperfections in others. As one gets older an intolerance of fools in all forms takes hold. This book was an excellent reminder that we are all fools in one way or another and to accept other's minor shortcomings was both good for them and for ourselves.
