How to Win Friends and Influence People

In a recent post I listed what are, in my opinion, some of the more important books for a businessperson to read. Among them was How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. I recently reread this book, and was reminded of just how great it is, and how essential it is, not just for the businessperson or entrepreneur, but for anyone who wants to learn how to deal with people and get ahead in life. I truly believe that it is the ULTIMATE self improvement book.

Written in 1936, all of the subject matter still applies today, and it’s easy to see how it influenced the gurus who came after such as Brian Tracy, Tony Robbins, and Jack Canfield. It has become one of my favorite books of all time, and I believe it to be “The Bible” for how to treat and deal with people.
