About the author
Dale Carnegie was an American writer, lecturer, and developer of courses in public speaking, salesmanship, and interpersonal relations. His work grew from adult education and practical instruction rather than academic psychology.
How to Win Friends and Influence People became his best-known book. Its principles emphasise sincere appreciation, listening, names, respect, and the avoidance of criticism that makes another person defend identity instead of reconsidering behaviour.
