Secrets of Success. How to Make Friends and Become Influential - Dale Carnegie

Dale Carnegie said that “success is getting what you want, and happiness is wanting what you have got.” But what exactly do people want? Well, most of the time, it’s a career that’s going up, trustworthy friends, a loving family, a decent living… and the like. Of course, the reasons why a person wants something are completely personal, but the methods by which they can achieve their goal are generally valid. And the methods in this book have been tested by over 15 million readers on five continents, over three quarters of a century. This volume has become, over time, the best-selling motivational book ever published.
