This is the book that began my foray into the world of self-help. Rich with examples, Dale Carnegie explains, in 30 of his principles, how to become a better friend and how to influence others without manipulation. Much of the advice in this book may seem like common sense to some, but you have to keep in mind that this book was written in the 30s, a time much different than the present. Most, if not all of Dale Carnegie's principles are still relevant today. Many of us overlook simple courtesies of communication such as smiling, being an effective listener, and using peoples' names, for example. This is a primary text, meaning many other books in this genre pull information from this one. How to Win Friends and Influence People is quintessential to the self-help genre. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to improve their communication skills, business life, and personal life.

This book was recommended to me throughout my career by many behavior analysts and I can see why. It truly illustrates the behavior analytic concepts of positive reinforcement, motivation, avoidance, etc with relatable examples and explains them in plain English. It is unfortunate that this way of interacting with one another is not more mainstream, even among those of us in the business of changing behavior.
This feels like really generic advice at times, tho it's still good advice
