Published in 1936, this timeless self-help classic teaches principles for building relationships, improving communication, and becoming more likable and persuasive. Carnegie’s advice is based on understanding human nature, showing genuine interest in others, and avoiding criticism. Key lessons include:

  • "Become genuinely interested in other people."

  • "Smile and remember names."
