The 60 million-copy bestseller textbook on success
The book that changed the lives of world leaders!

Self-help books are still being published steadily, but it's rare to find a book that is still recognized as valuable even after 80 years since its publication.
Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People," published in 1936, was read by many American presidents, including Kennedy and Obama, and is also well known as the book that changed the life of world-renowned investor Warren Buffett.
It has sold over 60 million copies worldwide and continues to captivate the hearts of countless readers.

Carnegie, who made a name for himself in 1912 when he began teaching conversation and public speaking classes for adults at the New York YMCA, needed textbooks for his lectures, but was unable to find suitable books and ended up having to write his own.
And after extensive research, he published "How to Win Friends and Influence People", which clearly outlines the techniques that lead to successful human relationships.
It covers conversation skills and worldly wisdom needed not only in business but also in all relationships formed in social life, such as parent-child relationships and marital relationships, such as how to convey one's thoughts and opinions, how to persuade others, and how to become a likeable person.
Drawing on vivid examples from celebrities and ordinary people from all walks of life, it offers practical, immediately applicable solutions to our concerns about complex human relationships, clearly addressing them.

William James, a renowned professor at Harvard University, said, “We are only half awake now compared to what we were born with.
We are only using a tiny fraction of our physical and mental resources.
Broadly speaking, each individual human being lives far below his or her limits.
“People possess various kinds of power, but they do not always use them,” he said.
The power you're "always unused"! This book's sole purpose is to help you discover and develop your dormant abilities.
Dr. John Hibben, former president of Princeton University, said, “Education is the ability to deal with all the situations that life will bring.”
If after reading Part 3 of this book you are still not prepared to face the challenges life presents, then I can safely say that this book is a complete failure.
But as Herbert Spencer said, “The greatest aim of education is not knowledge, but action.”
This book is for that very action.
--- From “The process and reason for writing this book”

One of the first people in American business to earn a million dollars a year was Charles Schwab.
Why did Andrew Carnegie pay him a million dollars a year, or over $3,000 a day? Because Schwab was a genius? Absolutely not.
So was it because he knew more about steelmaking than anyone else? Absolutely not.
Charles Schwab once told me that his employees knew more about steelmaking than he did.
Schwab said the reason he was paid so much was because of his ability to deal with people.
I asked him how to do it.
Here I have written down the secret he told me exactly.
These are words that should be engraved on copper plates and hung in every home, school, store, and office in this country.
It's also something kids should remember instead of wasting time trying to remember Latin verb conjugations or Brazil's average annual rainfall.
If we just live by these words, your life and mine can change completely.
“My ability is to inspire people.
This is the most precious possession I have.
The best way to bring out the best in people is through praise and encouragement.
Nothing is more demotivating than a scolding from your boss.
I don't blame anyone.
I believe that we need to motivate people to want to do something.
So, I'm very passionate about praising, but I hate finding fault.
“The best way to deal with people is to give them sincere praise and praise them generously.”

You want to be recognized by those around you.
You want to feel important in the little world you live in.
I don't want to hear cheap, hypocritical flattery, but I long for genuine recognition.
As Charles Schwab said, I want to be 'genuinely recognized and praised'.
This is the wish of all of us.
So let's follow this golden rule.
Let us treat others as we would like to be treated.
How, when, and where? The answer is always, everywhere.
