great advice for, not only business, but also for private life. it just shows you how to care more, be friendly and non-judmental with its consequences, i.e. when people react to the affirmative and sincere you. [Review from Goodreads]

If you haven’t read the original “How to Win Friends” or if you just want to re-read it — read this book. If you expect something new from this edition — abandon this hope…. Carnegie’s “Digital age” edition is just the same candy in a new wrapping. The book contains Facebook and Twitter cases as illustration to the old Carnegie’s advice, but that’s pretty much it.

It’s easy to get social media wrong. When you’re sitting behind you’re keyboard, you can forget that you’re writing something that will be read by a real person and not a machine.
To get social media right requires the same relating skills that you need when dealing with people face to face. This modern-era version of the classic book on connecting to people teaches the core principles of engaging with anyone, how to make a lasting impression, how to gain and keep trust, and how to inspire change…This book may not endure like it’s classic predecessor, but if you’ve been grappling with how to connect to the real person sitting on the other side of the virtual wall, then this book will give you some practical ideas on how to proceed. [Review from Goodreads]

Timeless advice that easily conformed to today’s standards. I think the advice was more applicable to the business world, as some of the tips would seem a little too friendly if you’re just getting to know someone, but all in all every bit of advice in this book is applicable in some way when dealing with the public.
