review 1: Extremely disappointing book. I expected this book to be of the same quality and depth that I found in Dale Carnegie's 'How to Stop Worrying and Start Living' book. However, I found it to be poorly structured, minimal in content, superficial in its theme, and consistently difficult to understand what point/idea the author was discussing. I will think very hard before reading another book from Dale Carnegie Training.On structure, on multiple occasions the text introduces examples and ideas with no introductions and the tone of the introduction suggests that the author has already introduced these ideas. An example is in chapter four where the author states (in a sub-section on 'diplomacy in action') that "There may be much more going on beneath the surface, as there was... more between Steve and Ben,..." First time I had heard anything about these gentlemen and there is no follow on explanation. Regularly ideas will not appear to match the context of the chapter or sub-section it is discussed in.On content, each chapter provides a superficial and very brief summary of the topic, or sub-topics, of that chapter. Many times leaving me with a feeling of not knowing what the author was trying to portray. Some of the ideas actually appear very constructive. However, the poor way they are presented, both initially and in the "Class Act Framework" leave me not wanting, or unable, to pursue them in anyway.
review 2: There's been much interest in Dale Carnegie at the library lately, and I saw this title from those folks and was intrigued. No new Dale Carnegie stuff here, but good reminders to be kind, passionate, to listen and to not judge, to pursue your dreams, to be a "class act". Good, old school stuff, and a good reminder about living well, although I don't think it comes close to its title. Interestingly, my organization has someone who seems to be all this, and it's lovely to see it in play. less
