I guess years ago I may have read Carnegie's famous work "How to Win Friends and Influence People", though I can't say I remember much about it other than keep a positive attitude with a lot of enthusiasm, and have a smile on your face. Simple stuff in reality but effective enough that it made Carnegie famous, a fortune, and an organization the exists to this day. This book covers Carnegie's life in overall a positive light treading a couple of times on his foibles in his personal life. It got boring at times as it delves into the development of his methodologies over his long career. But it also provided a lot of food for thought in how individuals over the years have been able to spin a viewpoint on achieving success in life that so taps into what people crave. There is a fine line between achieving success and manipulation in this realm but it can be argued that Carnegie by and large did a lot of good for a lot of people.

Before Stephen Covey, Oprah Winfrey, and Malcolm Gladwell there was Dale Carnegie. His book, How to Win Friends and Influence People, became a best seller worldwide, and Life magazine named him one of "the most important Americans of the twentieth century." This is the first full-scale biography of this influential figure. Dale Carnegie was born in rural Missouri, his father a poor farmer, his mother a successful preacher. To make ends meet he tried his hand at various sales jobs, and his failure to convince his customers to buy what he had to offer eventually became the fuel behind his future glory. Carnegie quickly figured out that something was amiss in American education and in the ways businesspeople related to each other. What he discovered was as simple as it was profound: Understanding people's needs and desires is paramount in any successful enterprise. Carnegie conceived his book to help people learn to relate to one another and enrich their lives through effective communication. His success was extraordinary, so hungry was 1920s America for a little psychological insight that was easy to apply to everyday affairs. Self-help Messiah tells the story of Carnegie's personal journey and how it gave rise to the movement of self-help and personal reinvention. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
