How to Win Friends and Influence People
I had avoided this one for years due to its age and because reading it seemed to imply one has no friends and no influence. It gets long-winded in parts with a few too many examples, but it's excellent. Definitely something everyone should read once, no matter what type of job or lifestyle one leads.
- city41 13y agoThis is a good book. The simple tip of asking people about themselves when unsure of what to talk about does work in a pinch. I also found it interesting that Susan Cain (see my comment in this thread) largely derided this book and the others like it that came out at the same time.
- andersthue 13y agoI agree, it's a good foundation to build upon!
- stevewillows 13y agoI read this and also the 48 Laws of Power -- both interesting reads that have a few crossovers. Mind you, the 48 Laws of Power audiobook sounds like it's read by the devil.
- __derek__ 13y agoDefinitely! (Unfortunately, that goes for everything you mentioned, including the long-winded parts.)
