Hi handsome action taker!
Dale Carnegie has writen this bestseller in 1936.
It has been translated into over 35 different languages and still sells like crazy even today. Yet this is an author and a book little known among tech pros and since a very common problem among them is the lack of skills to influence others, starting by selling themselves during a job interview they would highly benefit from reading this book and learning from it.
Since you and I are always looking for ways to improve ourselves
and always take action and this is what differentiate us from the rest of the average tech pros out there, I though that you would be more than interested to learn about:
The book is divided into 4 parts:
1. Fundamental techniques
2. 6 ways to make people like you
3. how to win people to your way of thinking (12 ways)
4. Be a leader: How to change people without giving offense of arousing resentment (9 ways)
Each suggestion, way or topic is presented with an explanation and is usually followed by a story demonstrating the value of the suggestion by showing how someone obtained a benefit by applying the
suggestion.
With the way the suggestions are presented, it is very hard to disagree with them and at the same time, it is quite rare to meet people that naturally possess all these behaviors.
In my opinion, that means that the book material offer a tremendous potential to improve someone social skills who is serious about implementing the suggestions in his own
behavior.
