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.
