“How do I talk to a rude friend?”
“Why should I do it first?”
“I was just joking, but my friend said, ‘I’m breaking up with you.’”
A 15-year veteran elementary school teacher shares her real-life concerns from the field.

『How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie at Age 10』 is a book that reconstructs the contents of the original 『How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie』 to suit children's level.
It was written so that any part could be easily understood by a child around the age of ten, or in the third grade of elementary school, when they are beginning to seriously worry about friendships.


This book was written by a teacher from Gangnam District 8, the most educationally enthusiastic elementary school in Korea, and a veteran elementary school teacher who has been teaching upperclassmen for many years.
This book is filled with the experiences of teachers with 12 and 15 years of experience who have been at the forefront of helping children adapt to school.
Also, unlike other children's editions, this book features Dale Carnegie as a friendly grandfather who imparts wise teachings to children.


Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People", which consists of three chapters, starts with the three biggest principles to keep in mind when dealing with friends, and covers 19 topics, including the secrets of popular friends and how to win friends over to your side.
“What should I say to a rude friend?”, “I was just joking, but my friend said, ‘I’m going to break up with you’”, “I’m always losing arguments, so I’m upset”, “Why do I have to be nice to you first?”, and other real-life concerns that are frequently heard in elementary school settings are naturally incorporated into the book.


It also teaches you specific relationship skills that successful adults have been secretly using, such as how to praise a friend whose strengths are not apparent, how to remember a friend's name, the secret to making a smile, how to listen, how to avoid arguments, how to speak against a friend's position, and how to intelligently admit your own mistakes.

Carnegie's thoughtful advice that soothes children's hearts
From soft and delicate illustrations to smart conversations

First, let's read an article that easily explains anecdotes about Grandpa Carnegie and examples of great people in history, such as Lincoln, Roosevelt, John D. Rockefeller, and Howard Thurston.
If you follow the conversation between Grandpa Carnegie and the child, the key points that you didn't understand will be clearly organized.
No matter how excellent the advice is, it is useless if you don't know how to apply it in real life, so we've included conversation techniques that can be practically applied to friendships and the attitudes to keep in relationships.
The detailed tone of speech, as if a real grandfather were talking to his grandchildren, makes young readers feel comfortable.


Additionally, to keep children reading this book interested, various problems related to friends that actually occur in school life are inserted as cartoon cut illustrations to elicit empathy.
In keeping with the book's character of teachings from a kind grandfather, the illustrations, with their soft and delicate touch, were drawn by Sangmi Cha, who has been loved by both children and parents for her work on "The Lottery Machine That Always Wins" and "How Should I Tell You?"


Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is a book that helps children understand the importance of human relationships from a child's perspective.
It's also a bonus that children learn the wisdom of classics that are still loved by many people even after over 100 years.
Grandpa Carnegie's lesson is one.
“Make friends, don’t make enemies.”
