Dale Carnegie

Who Was Dale Carnegie?
​
​Dale Harbison Carnegie (November 24, 1888 - November 1, 1955) was an American writer and lecturer and the developer of famous courses in self-improvement, salesmanship, corporate training, public speaking, and interpersonal skills. Born into poverty on a farm in Missouri, he was the author of the best selling How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936), How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (1948) and many more self-help books.

What Is The Book All About?
​The simplicity and clarity of Dale Carnegie's thoughts have been guiding readers over the years—in both the personal and professional spheres. Having understood the psychology of a successful personality, he effectively guided his audiences and readers towards active self-improvement, as a cohesive life choice. Succinctly, he tells us how to hone our innate human abilities and put them to effective use. Be it salesmanship or leadership; communication or marketing; or happiness and fulfillment—Carnegie tells us how to make the most of our resources and achieve our fullest potential.

These books, a selection of Carnegie's bestsellers, all must-reads, are now presented in one volume (actually, this is a volume 2. The Volume 1 is - How to Win Friends and Influence People - Develop Self-Confidence, Improve Public Speaking - The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking).
