Dealing with People

Influence

Overall, I feel this book is one of the best ones I have read on how to Deal with People, Create Influence and Become a Better Leader. As Carnegie points out in the book, we are constantly dealing with people in business and it is a key skill that must be developed in order to deal with day to day problems that we face. It is amazing to me that communication, influence and people skills is not taught to everyone in school. If it was, i believe we would be much better equipped to deal with life and much better at communicating with those around us. Nevertheless, I believe that if you will read and apply the teaching in How to Win Friends and Influence People you will definitely Create a Life of greater Happiness, Fulfillment and Prosperity.
