How To Win Friends and Influence People
By Dale Carnegie, based on his book of the same name.
How to Win Friends and Influence People is one of the best-selling books of all time, and I still can’t believe it was written in 1936!
There are so many crazy statistics about this book, it’s amazing — it went through 17 editions in its first year of publishing, has sold over 15 million copies worldwide, and made number 19 in ‘Time’ magazine’s 100 most influential books in 2011.
I think I need to schedule some time to read this one again.
Are there any books that any of you have read that you want to read again?
Key takeaway:
How often do you hear “they’re a people person”?
When I hear people say this, they suggest that people are born with the skill of being a people person, but this is simply not true.
It is a skill just like any other, it can be learned, developed and mastered — just like riding a bike.
No matter your personality type, introvert or extrovert, you too can master the skills of making friends and influencing people, and this book it a great place to start.
