How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
3.0
This book is outdated and sexist and racist, but with many kernels of truth related to the topic at hand, and some good action steps.
Favorite quotes:
"I don't give two whoops in Hades."
"Ridiculous? Absurd? You are privileged to think anything you like"
"All this takes time, but 'Good manners,' said Emerson, 'are made up of petty sacrifices.'"
"If a person makes a statement that you think is wrong--yes, even that you know is wrong--isn't it better to begin by saying: 'Well, now, look. I thought otherwise, but I may be wrong. I frequently am. And if I am wrong, I want to be put right. Let's examine the facts.'"
