How To Win Friends and Influence People
Author: Dale Carnegie
ISBN: 9789352613939
About 15 years ago I read this book. I got a third of the way through and skipped a few lines here and there. Well, here I am over a decade later and the book turned up on some famous reading lists so I decided to read it again with fresh eyes and a grown up perspective, and I didn't skip the pages.
I still like this book!
It is good old common sense that sometimes I think we have forgotten about in our fast paced media influenced world. As I read it, I remembered all the things my mother and grandmother had told me as I was growing up. Things like: "There is something good everyone you just have to look (maybe a little harder sometimes) and "Treat others how you would like to be treated". In many aspects these are put there in this little gem.
I loved the tips at the end of chapters. Many of which I have now put into quotes on my phone... I will share some with you over time.
Quite a bit of this book is presented for the business person but it is far from that. It is a treasure that would hurt everyone reading. No matter what your life is like, you will be able to learn something from this book that will make you think and maybe a difference to you or someone else if you implement the idea.
