Gee golly! With the tips from this book, I now have the confidence and gumption to put on my best suit and hat, walk up to the foreman of the local manufacturing plant, give him a firm hand shake, look him in the eye, and ask for a job!

Seriously though, some of the tips from this book are marginally useful, but I was turned off by Carnegie's bizarre love affair with Robert E. Lee and his romanticism of the Confederacy, which he brings up several times in a few chapters.
