How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

Throughout our lives, many people concern themselves with popularity. The notion of “I’m popular, you’re not,” becomes a measure of success. In Dale Carnegie’s, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Carnegie outlines the fundamentals of social skills. Although the title is fairly self-explanatory, this book also provides leadership skills and a variety of ways to interact with other people. I found the author to be very insightful, especially when discussing how to get the best of an argument, which is to ignore it. The book teaches you to gain respect by showing respect for other people. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
