Updated for the first time in more than forty years, Dale Carnegie's timeless bestseller is a classic that has improved and transformed the personal and professional lives of millions of people. It is a new edition of the most influential self-improvement book, with invaluable material recovered from the original 1936 text. One of the most famous motivational guides in history, having sold tens of millions of copies, translated into almost every known written language, has helped countless people succeed. Carnegie's robust, time and experience-tested advice remains relevant to the modern reader as the author addresses perennial questions about the art of getting along with people. This bestselling novel, modern, full translation conveys life's most important lessons through engaging storytelling, showing readers how to become who they want to be. At first, I taught only oratory. The program was designed specifically for adults who wanted to learn in practice to think faster and express their ideas more clearly, efficiently and confidently both at business meetings and in front of an audience. But over time, I realized that, in addition to the ability to speak and speak out, the same adults need to master the fine art of communicating with people in business and in their personal lives. I also came to the conclusion that I myself need such training. Looking back, I am struck by how often I myself lacked understanding and grace. How I would like this book to be in my hands twenty years ago! It would be a priceless gift!
