"Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck is a classic novella that explores the dreams, hardships, and complexities of human relationships during the Great Depression. The story revolves around two itinerant ranch workers, George Milton and Lennie Small, as they navigate a world marked by economic hardship and social injustice.

Set against the backdrop of the American West, the narrative delves into the deep friendship between George and Lennie, two contrasting characters bound by a shared dream of owning a piece of land. Lennie, despite his immense physical strength, possesses a childlike innocence that complicates their journey. The novel poignantly addresses themes of loneliness, the pursuit of the American Dream, and the harsh realities faced by those on the margins of society.

Enjoy!

        I believe the management speak for this is delegation.

        • Ughhh on 03/12/2023 - 09:52

          Yes. But you would get better quality work/relationship if said person actually likes you.
          Ie. Doing it for you, more than doing it because it's work. Comes handy if you want your stuff prioritised.

      I read it, I took away a couple of things which have helped my interactions with people. There are also parts that I ignored, and a bit of outdated stuff in the book, including some religious talk.

      There are probably much better modern alternatives to this book.

      There's even mgmt course you can go that teaches the concepts from the book. Some stuff is outdated and from old office work space, especially nothing on dealing with younger generation and WFH. But it taught some communication and soft skills.

    • fat queenslander on 03/12/2023 - 09:40

      As others have said, this book will probably teach you some overlooked/unlearned communication skills which will improve your face to face interactions with some people

    • Wonderfool on 03/12/2023 - 10:04

      The main 2 things I took away from it is that:

      1) be interested in what others have to say, start by listening.

      2) you can start a longer term acquaintance/friendship by asking for a favour. Even something simple can make them feel better about knowing you as they feel better in the power dynamic.

    this is outdated, in modern times all you need to do is argue with people online, I suggest here is a good start and then move on to twitter where you will really join the pro leagues in influencing and winning friends, Dale has nothing on modern influencing

    • SlifSlif on 03/12/2023 - 10:01

      Omg it’s called PRESENT times, not Modern! And it’s “X” not “twitter”, Gramps, fr fr.

      Dale is clearly more “modern” at influencing than you are!

      .. Are we friends now?

      (Had to recomment as I hit unpublished like a scrub, why is that even a thing.. who edits to unpublish?)

        • SlifSlif on 03/12/2023 - 11:04

          Well that’s If you knew anything about papa Elon you’d know he once had x.com but later changed it PayPal, it’s probably just Elon swinging his jewels that he now “technically” owns x.com again to feed to his ego.

          • xoom on 05/12/2023 - 10:17

            @1st-Amendment: This is part of the problem with society.

            If you are not the one doing the influencing you are therefore being influenced?

            Whatever happens to peaceful co existence? You do you and someone else does themselves. They can do what they want within reason ofcourse.

              @xoom:

              This is part of the problem with society.

              Is it? You have an opinion on something, how do you convince or influence others to agree with your opinion?

              • xoom on 05/12/2023 - 10:49

                @1st-Amendment: Just saying the world would have less conflicts if people leave each other be. Putting it out there.

                Believe what you want to believe. Just don't impose it on others. Bit hey we didn't have two world wars because people clearly couldn't keep their ideology to themselves and have to "influence" others.

                  Just saying the world would have less conflicts if people leave each other be.

                  Would it?

                  You're not doing a very good job of convincing me, maybe you should read the book…

                  • xoom on 05/12/2023 - 10:55

                    @1st-Amendment: I said less conflict. Not saying saying there will be none. There will always be conflict.

                    Even good friends have conflicts due to differing opinions.

      This was the first successful book of this genre, it's nearly 100 years old. Every other book of this type is an attempt to copy this one. Dale Carnegie was the original influencer.

      His one about using people's names frequently can sort of backfire. Means you're singling out just one person and not engaging with the group dynamic so much. Probably not a problem for most people here but I read it when I was like 14 so it's definitely hampered my social development thanks to that little tip

And last time I logged in was logged in to au but my US books seemed to be there (at least a few of them, I didn't spend time checking properly)

  • RefusdClassification on 03/12/2023 - 16:17

    Steinbeck is an oddity. His books are written from the perspective of the lower class aka "Struggle Street". Most literature and art is for middle and upper class consumption.

    Dale died in 1955, so assuming death of the author plus 70 years the book should be in the public domain in 2026. Some people claim it is already public domain. And the publishers will of course keep making derivative works with forewords and stuff to reset the copyright terms on that derivative work. The book is almost 90 years old so it's kind of crazy it's still considered copyrighted at all imo…

  • Assclown on 03/12/2023 - 19:26

    My wife already calls me a narcissist. I'm going to level up after reading this one. I feel sorry for the people I'm about to win over and then allow me to influence them and tell them how I want them to live. I'm going to be such a winner in life 😁
