My father gave me this book when I was about 18 and he told me “if you read this book, you will always be successful.” i used to read it every year to remind me of the importance of treating people and making them feel special. I refer to this book all the time and have given it to friends and family as gifts that lasts a lifetime. The new book by Dale’s daughter on “How to win friends and Influence People for Teen Girls” is excellent.

Thank you Dale Carnegie for being such an influence on my life!

Glenn,
This book was also behind other books in my queue. But since the theme of the month is Relationships, it suddenly jumped to the first spot :)

Janelle,
What a nice coincidence :) If you like the first book I’m sure you will also like this book.

Shanel,
I haven’t read Think and Grow Rich. Looks like I need to put it in my “candidate” list. Thanks.

Flora,

Every time we’re with someone we have another opportunity to practice them.

I agree. Real life is the best laboratory of relationship principles.

DanGTD,
Nice additions.

… especially not behind their back.

It’s an important principle. We should never say anything bad about other people behind their back.

Great summary.

I would add:

“Speak ill of no man and speak all the good you know of everyone.”
People react very badly to criticism; don’t do it, not to their face nor behind their back … especially not behind their back.

Say “Thank You”.
Express appreciation. People yearn, yearn to be appreciated.

Talk about what people want and help them get it.
“Arouse in others an eager want.”
Corollary: let others take credit for your ideas; they’ll like your ideas a lot more if they believe them to be their own.

Thanks for sharing these important principles. Every time we’re with someone we have another opportunity to practice them.I recently spent the weekend reuniting with a group I met in Italy at a retreat. Everyone left feeling satisfied because we ensured that every single person got the spotlight to share their goals and obstacles and ask for ideas fr the group. The hardest part was keeping silent when the speaker paused a long while before responding. But everyone of us knew keeping silent at those times was the most helpful thing we could do.
