Carnegie's classic bestseller–an inspirational personal-development guide
that shows how to achieve lifelong success–is now in a newly packaged edition,
the first hardcover release of this classic since 1981.
How to Win Friends and Influence People is the first, and still the finest, book
of its kind. One of the best-known motivational books in history, Dale
Carnegie's groundbreaking work has sold millions of copies, has been
translated into almost every known written language, and has helped countless
people succeed in both their business and personal lives.
First published in 1937, Carnegie's advice has remained relevant for
generations because he addresses timeless questions about the fine art of
getting along with people: How can you make people like you instantly? How can
you persuade people to agree with you? How can you speak frankly to people
without giving offense? The ability to read others and successfully navigate any
social situation is critically important to those who want to get a job, keep a
job, or simply expand their social network.
The core principles of this book, originally written as a practical, working
handbook on human relations, are proven effective. Carnegie explains the
fundamentals of handling people with a positive approach; how to make people
like you and want to help you; how to win people to your way of thinking without
conflict; and how to be the kind of leader who inspires quality work, increased
productivity, and high morale.
As Carnegie explains, the majority of our success in life depends on our ability
to communicate and manage personal relationships effectively, whether at home or
at work. How to Win Friends and Influence People will help you discover and
develop the people skills you need to live well and prosper.
