This bestselling motivational book was published in 1936, and it has sold over 30 million copies and is still in print.
It addresses topics like increasing your popularity and earning power, becoming a better public speaker and winning people over to your way of thinking.
The book is full of wisdom that’s still useful today. Examples include: don’t criticise, condemn or complain; give honest and sincere appreciation; and arouse in the other person an eager want.
The author writes about how to encourage people to like you by smiling, becoming genuinely interested in their problems, and being a good listener. Carnegie writes,
“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.”
