How to win friends and influence people

Self-help books are often written, but not all are as popular as this one, “How to Win Friends and Influence People.” Dale Carnegie wrote this book in 1937 and it was later revised to become an all-time international bestseller. This book is always on demand because 16 million copies have already been sold worldwide. The book has been translated into many languages. The publishing business received a great boost with the growing popularity of this book.

“How to Win …” is actually a sequel to another Dale Carnegie book, “Speaking Effectively and Human Relations.” After writing this useful book, he thought about writing this one for ordinary people. The book is presented in a very interesting way. This is based on the author’s personal experiences. Hence, it becomes interesting for readers. Another interesting aspect of this book is that after each chapter there are “walnut shells”, which help readers to review the previous chapter. It is certainly very important, since the book must be read in the form of chapters. Some readers tend to skip a chapter or two and continue; this is not recommended for this book.

“How to Win …” is divided into four parts and they are all equally interesting.

First part – Fundamental techniques in the management of people.

Part two: six ways to make people like you.

Third part: how to attract people to your way of thinking.

Part Four – Be a Leader: How to Change People Without Hurting or Resentment.

The book is descriptive and very easy to read. The author describes things and then summarizes them in a few words. This helps the reader to review the chapter and move on to the next one. The examples are taken from real life, which has made this book more interesting. The comments in a nutshell are made in such a way that the reader can test the facts just explored. It is easy to remember and remember later.

Although the title itself speaks volumes about this book, the content needs to be described a bit more. If you have an interest in reading self-help books, then this is a must read for you. However, if you are purchasing a book of this type for the first time, you will find it useful. The book recommends a couple of exercises after each chapter. If you can try to follow them religiously, your life will change. The book is not made for people in a particular category; rather, everyone should read this book. Professionals, students, and others should read this too. It is a thought-provoking book that cannot be ignored. People interested in human psychology would love to read it right away.

Since the book is divided into many chapters, you should read it in the same way. Start over, read one or two chapters at a time, and leave the rest for the next day. This practice will not make your reading boring or monotonous. Even you will feel comfortable applying the methods slowly and steadily. This is more important than just reading it. The book was written quite a few years ago, so sometimes you may not get used to the suggestion. In fact, this is very natural, but try tweaking a few things to make use of the golden hints. In this way you can take the main essence.

Throughout the book, there is considerable supporting anecdotal evidence embellishing the main text. These examples are subtly incorporated, contributing to the fluidity and depth of the arguments presented.
