How to Win Friends And Influence People, the title itself is captivating. The blog author's first reading of the book dated some 30 years ago. It definitely captivated a young teenager then who quoted the book in the resume and got a few job interviews.
The book was written many many years ago. The original version by the author, Dale Carnegie who has passed on, had been revised by people likely to be given the permission by the Dale Carnegie's estates. Personally, the blog author prefers the original version. However, the revised version is still worth an investment for personal development. Even though the examples were taken from a life that existed some decades ago and may not be highly reflective of the current pace of life, but there are some very good gems in the book to take away.
Dale Carnegie's name is a household name or an institution in the communication or personal / corporate development industry. If you want to attend a Dale Carnegie's course, it can cost around $700 to $3,000. So, investing in the book is definitely easier on the pocket.
