Publisher's summary

Take command of your future with this “powerful and practical” (Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times bestselling author of The Earned Life) book from the experts who brought you How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Written by Joe Hart (CEO) and Michael Crom (Board Member) of Dale Carnegie & Associates, Take Command is an “insightful” (Dave Winfield, MLB Hall of Famer and New York Times bestselling author) manual for personal development that will help anyone, at any age. It is structured around questions geared to encourage self-reflection, such as:
-How do we use the power of mindset to deal with stress and anxiety, gain perspective on negative emotions, and build resilience?
-Once we understand our inner lives, how do we create enriching, rewarding, and enduring relationships?
-How do we deal with difficult people and manage conflict?
-After mastering our thoughts and relationships, how do we live courageously and intentionally to build a vision that will bring out the best in ourselves and other people?

For more than one hundred years, the wisdom of Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People has provided people around the world with richer, more fulfilling relationships and a happier way of life. Now, Take Command combines decades of Dale Carnegie’s award-winning training and timeless principles—ones that have transformed the personal and professional lives of millions—into a master text that tells you everything you need to know about the art of human relations.

Thanks this book, I'm becoming a better husband and it reflects all the way to my job. The things that I felt like will take me forever to achieve, now are already in progress and it's really an amazing feeling. I honestly recommend this book 100%.

Great sequel to how to win friends

This is a great sequel to how to win friends and influence people, Part two was especially good and chapter 9 about getting connected, or reconnected, in our relationships was my absolute favorite. I loved how each chapter started with a quote from Dale Carnegie. The author, a successor to Dale Carnegie and the current CEO, reads the book himself, which makes it even more special. and he's easy to listen to for hours.

If you are bew to Dale Carnegie or need a refresher - this is a great listen

The book provides a fresh view on the timeless teachings of Dale Carnegie and provides not only the content but clear and easy action steps to follow up on. Having Joe Hart read the book makes it even more of a treat to listen as you clearly hear the passion that went into this book and the personal stories are so much more authentic in this fashion.

Process and commitment

This was a good book. Reinforcement to other books I have read. Taking control of our own lives first is the most important step in the process.
