How to Win Friends and Influence People one of the most read book

 How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie is one of the most read and recommended book. I’ve heard people mention it for years and years, but was never ever got excited to read it. This is a book for people. It’s about how to get along with people. Anyone who ever has problems getting along with people should read this book. I know I do, but this book has completely changed my perspective. This really comes close to a life changing book.

The stuff mentioned is pretty obvious and simple, but important and often ignored. Worth reading multiple times as the preface recommends. I’ve already noticed a change in the way I interact with people. This is a great book. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get along with other people. It’s a very humbling yet empowering book. This is one of the must read book.
