It does have some of that in it, but it’s special for two reasons. One, it was the first self help book and after that, everyone else copied it. And two, tons of successful people over the last 50 years site “How to win friends and influence people” as a book that changed their lives.

A few months ago I talked to my grandfathers old friend who’s now in his 80′s. He’s real successful and all that, anyhow in an email, I asked him to give a young guy like me advice. He said

“My 3 pieces of advise to a young man starting up the ladder are simple;

1) Join a Toastmaster’s Club
2) Take a speed reading course
3) Read Dale Carnegie’s great book: “How To Win Friends and Influence
People.” As a matter of fact Warren Buffett in last month’s edition
of Fortune Magazine was advocating the book for young people.

Good luck. May your hopes and dreams forever ride on Eagle’s wings.”

So I read the book, and I loved it.

Sounds like a great list of books. Im miore intrested in “How to Win Friends and Influence People”. Im wondering if its just a bunch of common sensical information like how to physically show your intrested in a conversation, or “lighty touch them while speaking about a positive subject to generate a conection”. We will see, maybee there is a Jedi secret in the back of the book.
