How to Win Friends and Influence People
by Dale Carnegie, Dorothy Carnegie
This grandfather of all people-skills books was first
published in 1937. It was an overnight hit, eventually selling 15 million
copies. How to Win Friends and Influence People is just as useful today as it
was when it was first published, because Dale Carnegie had an understanding of
human nature that will never be outdated. Financial success, Carnegie believed,
is due 15 percent to professional knowledge and 85 percent to "the ability
to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among
people." He teaches these skills through underlying principles of dealing
with people so that they feel important and appreciated. He also emphasizes
fundamental techniques for handling people without making them feel
manipulated. Carnegie says you can make someone want to do what you want them
to by seeing the situation from the other person's point of view and
"arousing in the other person an eager want." You learn how to make
people like you, win people over to your way of thinking, and change people
without causing offense or arousing resentment. For instance, "let the
other person feel that the idea is his or hers," and "talk about your
own mistakes before criticizing the other person." Carnegie illustrates
his points with anecdotes of historical figures, leaders of the business world,
and everyday folks.
