It's been asked quite a few times already :) (I remember answering a few times before) and some links on the subject too. For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=228683 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=228683 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5700602 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5700602 One of my own recommendations is Dale Carnegie's How To Win Friends and Influence People. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Win_Friends_and_Influence_People http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Win_Friends_and_Influenc... It's also Paul Graham's recommendation: he recommends it on Why Smart People Have Bad Ideas[1]" If you want to learn what people want, read Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People. [1] When a friend recommended this book, I couldn't believe he was serious. But he insisted it was good, so I read it, and he was right. It deals with the most difficult problem in human experience: how to see things from other people's point of view, instead of thinking only of yourself."
