How to Win Friends and Influence People is a self-help book written by Dale Carnegie, first published in 1936. Over 30 million copies have been sold worldwide, making it one of the best-selling books of all time. In 2011, it was number 19 on Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential books. Carnegie had been conducting business education courses in New York since 1912. In 1934, Leon Shimkin of the publishing firm Simon & Schuster took one of Carnegie's 14-week courses on human relations and public speaking; afterward, Shimkin persuaded Carnegie to let a stenographer take notes from the course to be revised for publication. The initial five thousand copies of the book sold exceptionally well, going through 17 editions in its first year alone. In 1981, a revised edition containing updated language and anecdotes was released. The revised edition reduced the number of sections from six to four, eliminating sections on effective business letters and improving marital satisfaction. However, this is the Original 1936 Edition which Mr. Carnegie published himself and includes the last 2 invaluable sections. Although the culture has changed a lot, the principles in these 2 sections are as timeless as the rest of the book. If you want to see examples of amazing marketing letter writing and learn how to improve your marriage then read this original version of How to Win Friends and Influence People!

    This eBook (or some version of it) has been free in the past so you may already have a copy.

    So how many friends did Dale Carnegie have?

      0

        Not far from the truth. He nicked his methods from someone else, he changed his name to that of someone famous to sound more impressive, and he couldn't even keep his own marriage together.

      • Brianqpr on 19/09/2024 - 23:48

        0 friends but being able to influence loads of people would probably be ok.

    Literally just about to finish this book now. I think it's a great book with tons of insight into how humans work and what they value from connections. The principals in the book do really captivate people's attention if you use them correctly

      I need to read a book about why I want people’s attention and motivation to influence people.

      • RetroMetro on 20/09/2024 - 09:06

        Well one reason is to influence them to increase your pay haha

    We use to have this book in my school library when you wrote the name of the person borrowing on the card and handed it in.
    So people would write other peoples names in as having borrowed it as a joke on them.
    Then someone invented video games … the end.

        I'm still confused about why the US link helps, last time I asked they said it was for cheaper prices and a larger selection but that doesn't appear to be the case?

          Just depends where you first created your Amazon account and whether you've switched it over, e.g. I originally signed up with Amazon us, so my digital library is us based.

    I read this as a late teen, then moved onto Jonar Nader's How to Lose Friends & Infuriate People. I learnt more from the latter, to be honest.

  • Higibbo on 19/09/2024 - 19:56

    For some reason it’s showing as not available in my country in both the au and USA store :/

      Weird, for me the AU store works but says unavailable for the US store. Try UK?

      • Gebb on 19/09/2024 - 21:14

    I read this many moons ago. Something about “delayed gratification” being a strategy for success.

    • Brianqpr on 19/09/2024 - 23:50

      Sounds like religion and the whole don't worry it will be great when you're dead thing.

      The sequel to this book is The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k. 😋

      To help you appreciate everyone else?

  • SolidlyIrresponsible on 19/09/2024 - 22:54

    It's always interesting how much snark this book gets even tho it's a legit good book with valid advice that stood the test of time (first edition 1936). The "influence" part isn't some advice for sleezy manipulation methods.

  • hcl on 19/09/2024 - 22:56

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say, if you need this just to make friends, you have problems.

    No complaints for the freebie tho

    • crentist on 20/09/2024 - 11:58

      Perhaps, but if you read the book you might start to question the value you get out of unprompted insults and voicing negative opinions for the sake of no one

      • hcl on 20/09/2024 - 12:39

        mate you need some better sense of humour

          That was a joke? Your delivery needs work. I know a book that may help

  • Brianqpr on 19/09/2024 - 23:51

    Isn't this book basically what very good sales people do?

    • Cluster on 20/09/2024 - 10:59

      They don't ask if you want something and just keep pushing. 'No' is just a barrier to break through. Ugh.

    I read that as “ How to Win Friends and Influence People and Die in Carnegie” lol

  • mlburnian on 20/09/2024 - 07:28

    Spend time with real estate agents..the top ones. No joke..they know how to put this book into practice

  • Deviant88 on 20/09/2024 - 08:17

    Win Friends: Introduce them OzB.
    Influence People: Advertise a deal on OzB.

  • leftspeaker2000 on 20/09/2024 - 09:39

    Although this book is old, it is actually still very applicable and has some great takeaways.

  • Hangryuman on 20/09/2024 - 12:05

    short version - ask someone about themselves, and then listen without interrupting them for as long as they talk, and they'll think you're a highly intelligent conversationalist, and probably happy to give you what you wanted without question because quid pro quo they feel they now owe you something.

  • syousef on 20/09/2024 - 14:05

    A more truthful title would be: How to manipulate people so you can die rich and friendless.
