How to Win Friends and Influence People

Dale Carnegie’s 1936 guide distills simple, durable advice for getting along with people: show genuine interest, remember names, avoid criticism, and let others feel that good ideas are their own. Built from his public-speaking and self-improvement courses, the book is less about manipulation than about basic decency practiced deliberately. Its counsel has stayed in print for generations, and Warren Buffett has credited the underlying course with changing his life.
