Have you read the book? I ask because the title objection typically comes from people who have not. I found most of it to be a common-sense overview of human-to-human communication, albeit dated in some of the examples. Stuff like "be genuinely interested in the other person". Certainly nothing like the writing from modern influence peddlers like Cialdini or Greene. The most unauthentic thing I can think of is people that repeatedly say my name during a conversation, but that's on them, not Carnegie.
