"The man or woman who realizes that he is "something" not because of what he has done or how good he has been, but by the grace of God in endowing him with a certain innate worth, develops a healthy self-esteem." -Les Giblin, p. 13. I stopped reading there.

Sage advice for getting along with people
The world has changed so dramatically over the past half-century that many advice books from so long ago are no longer relevant, but Les Giblin’s relationship-oriented work seems likely to endure forever. The ideals he espoused in 1956 still represent the bedrock fundamentals for getting the most depth and satisfaction from your interpersonal connections.

Interesting concepts. I will have to see if I can put them to work at work.
This book had been sitting on my bookshelf for years and I was expecting it to be an over the top sales book so had put off reading it, but I was so wrong and now wish I had read it years ago. This is a superb book that has lots of great advice, good examples and is well written. I also really appreciate the short recap that each section has at the end summarising the key points.
No matter how great or horrible you are in dealing with people, this book has great insight into how the other person is wired and how you can help in growing teams of people, resolving conflict and become an expert in working with people!
One of the best books on people skills out there. Definitely one to read more than once. Recommended for any manager, business owner or anyone just looking to grow more confident in dealing with people.

Awesome
When I saw the book was first written in 1956, I wasn't sure if it would be relevant in today's society. I was pleasantly surprised, the format of the book was easy to understand and follow.
A few quotes from the book:
"A starved ego is a mean ego"
LS/MFT = Low esteem means friction and trouble
Satisfy another person's ego for self-esteem and he will automatically become more friendly and likeable

This was the best arrangment of people skills I think I've read. Check it out!
Simply amazing! Such a great read; very enjoyable. Even though it was written over 50 years ago the information is still very timely and applicable to today's world.
One of my favorites out of the top 5. I think I have read this book three times... I absolutely love it. It has the right amount of information and has a great layout. This book probably is the biggest reason for my development of personal skills and to get out there and take chances, raising my confidence.

The title turns me off a little with what seems like bluster. Yet, considering that I am very interested in human relations and that I happened to pick up this used book years ago... and the reviews here on GR intrigue me... Maybe I'll actually read more of this book.
Unless you are living in a cave and never interact with people. You should read this book. As a college professor I believe that most communication issues and conflict issues could be handled better with better people skills. This book will make a difference!
Great book on improving how to relate with other people. Many similarities to How to Win Friends Influence People.
I've read this book 2 or 3 times before and every time I get something new out of it-this time it's along the lines of my kids-expect the best, don't yell. Relationships are vital!
I really liked this book. It was short but it was FULL of good information. If you want to improve your relations with others, this is a good book for you.
Timeless principles on how to get along with people! Helpful for those who are shy, or not confident, or too abrasive, or... Everyone!
This book helped me tremendously at a point in my life when I lacked confidence in social/work situations. It's an oldie but a goodie.
I loved reading this book! It is full of insights into human relations. A great book for anyone that has to deal with people.
Never feel uncomfortable in any situation and learn to be able to talk to anyone and exude influence and confidence.
Very good information for dealing with difficult or hurting people. Helpful in learning to build people up
