    How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie - SpeedReader Summaries

    1. Introduction

    About The Book And Author

    THERE IS AN ART, A learned artistry, to saying the right thing at the right time, to developing meaningful and long-term relationships, both personal and professional, and influencing people to your way of thinking without offering offense.

    In a world becoming more and more impersonal, what could you accomplish if you were suddenly equipped with the ability to change another person’s behavior simply by changing your behavior toward them?

    The book How to Win Friends & Influence People dives head first into an ocean of human interaction, revealing an untapped world of teachable practices that have survived the course of time. First published in 1937, salesman-turned-lecturer-turned-author Dale Carnegie’s campaign to empower the average man or woman with the skills to reach their maximum potential, has sold more than 15 million copies in 36 languages.

    Carnegie teaches you how to better handle people and relationships; make people like you; win people to your way of thinking; and change people without arousing resentment.

    The book you’re reading right now is not meant to be a substitute for Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People but, instead, a complement. We recommend using it to quickly review the key concepts found in Carnegie’s book and to reinforce your comprehension of the material with the commentary, discussion questions, and additional resources we provide.

    At-A-Glance Summary

    IN OUR GIVEN PROFESSION, regardless of its degree of intellect, we are all equipped with the education and skills to perform our given job. There are characteristics that cannot be learned from textbooks or experience and are often the difference between being a leader or a follower. That difference often manifests itself into more tangible things like salary and responsibilities. In the course of human nature, this is also known as success.

    How we interact with people, how we influence them into liking us and our ideas and how we go about obtaining these highly-sought-after characteristics are outlined in great and easy-to-understand detail in this book. It’s a lecture hall lecture that never bores, nor ends its lesson. The book, How to Win Friends & Influence People, instills in its reader a pathway to a better and more rewarding life. 

    In short, this book will help you:

    Remove yourself from a mental rut, change your way of thinking, and uncover
