How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie is one of the best books I have ever bought for my self-growth. I did not know it before, but one day I completed my Competent Communicator manual (CC-10) in Toastmasters, and then they gave us a $20 gift certificate at Chapters.

The following week, I went to the store and started looking for a book, but I did not have something specific in mind. Then I saw the book entitled: ” How to Win Friends & Influence People. ” That must be a good book  I said to myself after reading some testimonials as well.  It was the best investment I have made in a self-improvement book.

Dale Carnegie himself recognized that the biggest problem, especially in business, is dealing with people. He decided to read and research it, and that is how the book came about, but they were not expecting such a huge success.

The book became almost a success overnight; they were blown away.

Part one 

“Fundamental Techniques in Handling People ” is important because it offers some techniques, but you need to apply them. To read a chapter and apply it, and then you continue; however, you can still read it again and again.

Part Two

“Six Ways to Make People Like You ” is the same thing: read and apply. Sometimes, you are not sure about the result, but give it a try.

Part Three
” How to Win People to Your Way of Thinking “Is a very interesting suggestion that we don’t realize that we can apply.

Part Four

” Be a Leader: How to Change People Without Giving Offence or Arousing Resentment “
It is a topic that arises all the time in our personal and business relationships, and it’s good to know.

To conclude, it is crucial to learn to make friends rather than enemies, as this makes your life more enjoyable and successful. As for me, it is much easier to speak to people and find a way to get along with them rather than argue with them.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and still do. A MUST read the book if you want to have a better relationship in your life and in business.

Please, I would love to hear from you and share it if you liked it.
