How to Win Friends & Influence People

This time I'm going to review one of the greatest best-seller in the world, this book also called one of the parents of motivational books together with The Power Of Positive Thinking and Think And Grow Rich. This book was published in 1936 and keep re-published until now. The book was authored by Dale Carnegie, the master of public speaking and communication, and it's based on his lecture. This is a really useful book whoever you are because when it came into speaking, everybody need that isn't it? The book tell you the really basic but sometimes forgotten communication skill like giving a honest and sincere appreciation, smile, be a good listener, and many more. Dale Carnegie also include and will tell you how powerful it will be if you use it for any of your communication, from business even daily conversation. Carnegie put many of examples of how it's work base on people experience, from Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, doctor, lawyer, salesman, and even his personal experience when he encountered a problem with the law. This book was a real well-done work. You also won't have to worry about understanding it, because this book was written in a very easy-understanding and easy to digest way. So, anytime you see this book on the bookshelf, grab it as fast as you can, and then watch the magic of it after you use it for life.
