Publisher Description
How to Win Friends and Influence People is a self-help book written by Dale Carnegie, published in 1936. Over 30 million copies have been sold worldwide, making it one of the best-selling books of all time. In 2011, it was number 19 on Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential books.
Carnegie had been conducting business education courses in New York since 1912. In 1934, Leon Shimkin of the publishing firm Simon & Schuster took one of Carnegie's 14-week courses on human relations and public speaking; afterward, Shimkin persuaded Carnegie to let a stenographer take notes from the course to be revised for publication. The initial five thousand copies of the book sold exceptionally well, going through 17 editions in its first year alone.
In 1981, a revised edition containing updated language and anecdotes was released. The revised edition reduced the number of sections from six to four, eliminating sections on effective business letters and improving marital satisfaction.
However, this is the Original 1936 Edition which Mr. Carnegie published himself and includes the last 2 invaluable sections. Although the culture has changed a lot, the principles in these 2 sections are as timeless as the rest of the book. If you want to see examples of amazing marketing letter writing and learn how to improve your marriage then read this original version of How to Win Friends and Influence People!
Customer Reviews
Pretty good. Enjoyable
Great book. Utilized a lot of the beginning chapters and parts in my everyday life. The last few chapters, in my opinion, where kinda of pointless/unnecessary.
Beautiful book well written
Very precise and with plenty of examples, I love where he said these aren’t tips, this is a book for a change in lifestyle. Loved it very much.
Encouraging
I read this book in high school because my sweet Mother was trying to make me a better person. It’s a good read and I believe that people should revert back to the way they were raised from time to time. Life was more simple and I believe our values were more important
