Meetingmax’s book of the month for November was How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. This is one of the most renowned motivational books in history and has sold over 15 million copies since its release in 1936. We chose to listen to the most recent version which is more applicable to today’s society.
As stated on Amazon.com “Carnegie’s first book is timeless and appeals equally to business audiences, self-help audiences, and general readers alike. Proven advice for success in life: Carnegie believed that most successes come from an ability to communicate effectively rather than from brilliant insights. His book teaches these skills by showing readers how to value others and make them feel appreciated rather than manipulated.”
