Regardless of whether we are younger or older, in school or in business, we all need friends. One of the most impactful books, and a classic at that!, everyone should read is Dale Carnegie's, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Can't go wrong with it, and it's a book that is applicable to any walk of life and any situation in home or business.
The Carnegie title has, no doubt, influenced other best-selling titles through the years, but in its basic form, Carnegie's offering can't be beat. In our era of bad manners, bad language, bad habits, and shoddy business practices, Carnegie's book would read like a Bible for anyone desiring to broaden their influence and impact the lives of others in a POSITIVE way.
Perhaps this book should be required reading before High School graduation. I've read it many times, and each time I find something new among its pages. A book for ages and one that will stay on the shelf for a lifetime.
