Although handicapped by a title that does not want to read it in public, this little guide Carnegie yet reveals a good synthesis of social relations. More than just a catalog of "stuff" and precepts to follow, it attempts to consolidate all the positive attitudes that should have to maintain good relations with others, regardless of the moods of each. Of course, it should not take anything that is written for cash. With some cynicism, "friends" including Carnegie talks are rather seen as targets to put in his pocket! Finally, it is a book that reads very easily, with words and historical examples (I have not checked, but they are credible) simple and sensible.
