Dale Carnegie (1888–1955)

Inspiring

Great update to a must read classic. While the mediums may be different the principles still apply and this book does an excellent job of bridging the two.

It will make us better individuals

This is a must-read book for anyone in public service or who aspires to be promoted. It has the power to transform our perspectives and enhance our interpersonal skills. By reading this book, we can become better individuals and inspire positive change in others. I regret not reading it when it was recommended to me 20 years ago.

At first, I thought about how trivial the principles were, which explains why it is part of the high school curriculum in some places. Then, I appreciated the low-key language and practical examples used as the principles were easy to grasp.
Also, I find that many of the principles are now common sense in our day and age. The latter is understandable as the book belongs to a different era. I learned a thing or two—tremendous and easy-to-read text.

Succo del discorso: siate gentili con gli altri, cercate di ricordare il loro nome e, almeno ogni tanto, fate i bravi e date l'idea che vi interessi ciò che vi stanno dicendo. Ecco fatto, avete evitato di leggere 300 pagine di aneddoti in stile american dream. Non c'è di che ;)
