Titlul duce un pic în eroare. Din cauza acestui titlu am lăsat cartea pe raft să aștepte câteva luni. Dacă aveam o idee despre conținut, treceam la ea mai repede.
Este prima mea întâlnire cu învățămintele lui Carnegie, însă am înțeles de ce este celebru și recomandat.
Aici veți descoperi multe teze care vă vor ajuta să vă îmbunățiți activitățile de zi cu zi și creșterea potențialului, accentul fiind pus pe viața profesională.

-Cum să-ți echilibrezi diferitele aspecte ale vieții.
-Cum să reduci stresul și să ai o viață sănătoasă.
-Cum să interacționezi cu deferite tipuri de oameni.
-Cum să-ți controlezi emoțiile.
-Cum să-ți utililizezi eficient timpul: multitasking-ul eficient, delegarea sarcinilor.

✍️“Dacă credem în noi înșine, și alții vor crede în noi.”

Great book! I read this book after reading another Dale Carnegie's book: How to stop worrying and Start living. I have applied few principles stated in these books, they did wonders for me. A must read in personality development genre.

Mesajul cărții este un îndemn pentru toată lumea: "Cultivă o atitudine mentală care să îți aducă pace și fericire".
Am experimentat pentru prima dată cititul unei astfel de cărți utilizînd notițele, mi-a plăcut :)

Am întâlnit multe idei comune cu cele prezentate în alte cărți din aceeași categorie. Au fost un bun refresher, dar în același timp nu am aflat nimic nou. Prima parte, totuși, a adus perspective noi pentru mine, de unde am preluat câteva practici bune.

Un pic titlul îmi pare diferit de conţinut.

În carte se vorbeşte despre cum să fii un lider, cum să foloseşti eficient timpul, cum să asculţi şi să fii ascultat.

Ca de obicei din cărţile lui Carnegie îmi fac notiţe .

The book is pretty practical, simple, and easy to apply. Just pick out the useful parts and make the most of them. It’s not too heavy to digest. There’s also a self assessment section to help you understand and identify yourself better

"Life is Short, Make it Great" by Dale Carnegie was a great publication regarding the common problems which possibly occur in any business. In "Life is Short, Make it Great", Dale Carnegie delivered his experience of what entrepreneurs can apply for themselves in order to accomplish and gain life enjoyment. Common problems related to entrepreneurship were mentioned, along with Dale Carnegie's advice on maintaining positivity. Therefore, I think that this publication is interesting and worthwhile and I recommend it.

Labai labai prasta knyga ir visai neverta dėmesio. “Mindfullness” terminas pasirinktas dėl mados, bet apie jo technikas ir tikrąją prasmę nieko nėra. Tikrai įdėmiai neskaičiau ir įpusėjus perverčiau - bet pbiau primera “coaching” knygą su banaliomis citatomis ir tikrai nieko naudingo, ypač tiems, kurie nori pažinti būtent sąmoningumą. Skaitau “Siegel” (sofoklio) knygą apie sąmoningumą ir tą tikrai galiu rekomenduoti, o ši - šnipštas.
