How to Win Friends and Influence
People, by Dale Carnegie.
Amazon.com calls this the “grandfather of all people-skills books.” The author
teaches readers how to deal with others to become a leader, including how to
win trust, how to encourage people to want what you want, and how to change
minds without building resentment. “Security comes down to people: protecting
them, informing them, and influencing them. And there’s no greater book out
there on how to work with and understand people than this one. I read it for
the first time in 2003, and I continually refer back to it to enhance my
behavior and leadership qualities. There’s a reason why this is always on the
bestseller list: It works!”
