Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People continued to amaze me with its simple but riveting points. Carnegie would use light praise or questioning instead of ordering to be more likable. Carnegie used personal and historical anecdotes throughout the book to convey his points. Unlike the beginning, which I already posted about, many of the suggestions became more complex compared to the first few.

Toews.Heggedal While in the beginning, it would consist of small gestures, by the end, it would be directions on specific things to say. I would suggest other self-help books like Rich Dad Poor Dad and Atomic Habits, but after finishing the book, I believe if you enjoyed it, it would be interesting to read any books written about some of the figures mentioned in this one, such as John D Rockefeller jr, Teddy D Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln to see the points- 5d
Toews.Heggedal mentioned in action. Generally, the central idea that Carnegie was trying to teach was to be personable. He would use anecdotes to explain how it applies to the readers' own lives. Every point Carnegie makes connects to being personable and making people feel good about themselves, that is his idea on How To Win Friends and Influence People.

Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People was a great pick. It follows American writer and lecturer Dale Carnegie as he shares habits he's developed to appear more likable to others. The book includes practical tips, such as using people's names or smiling when meeting them. For each habit, Carnegie uses historical examples to emphasize their importance, such as Abraham Lincoln's patience and empathy during the war. pt.2 in comments.

Toews.Heggedal This book is perfect for anyone, especially those who work with others or have an interest in history. It teaches timeless principles that remain relevant in today's business world and uses real-life events to support these claims. Dale Carnegie writes in both first-person and third-person objective perspectives. He uses first person to narrate and explain his thoughts whilst he uses a third person objective POV to story-tell. 1mo
