Two of the core ideas in his books is that it is possible to change other people’s behavior by changing your own behavior toward them, and that you can take any situation and make it work for you!
Dale Carnegie’s truly timeless advice has helped numerous people over the decades achieve success in both their business and personal lives.
“How to Win Friends &Influence People” will teach you things like Fundamental Techniques in Handling People, Six Ways to Make People Like You, How to Win People to Your Way of Thinking, and Being a Leader – How to Change People Without Giving Offense or Arousing Resentment.
Through applying these principles, many have built greater self-confidence, strengthen their people skills, enhanced communication skills, developed leadership skills, improved their attitude, and (perhaps most importantly) reduced their stress.
And Carnegie’s words are still powerful today:
“Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain, but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.”
“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”
Any time is a good time for his timeless wisdom!
