Over the last year, my 12-year-old son has been doing one challenge every week as a rite of passage and chance to earn a special trip. Some of these challenges have involved reading a book in a week, and the most recent book we gave him to read was How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie. His review? He said it was the best book he's read so far.So a book written almost 90 years ago can still be a favorite of a kid in the 21st century. Talk about some staying power. The advice in How to Win Friends & Influence People, and Dale Carnegie's other classic, How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, is timeless. But to help introduce it to a new audience, my guest, Joe Hart, has recently co-authored the book Take Command, which synthesizes, updates, and adds to the principles of Carnegie's two perennial bestsellers. Joe is the President and CEO of Dale Carnegie & Associates, which continues Carnegie's work in the present day, and we begin our conversation with some background on the guy who kicked off this work back in 1936. We then talk about what principles we can take from How to Stop Worrying and Start Living on developing a positive mindset. From there, we talk about the big overarching principle of How to Win Friends & Influence People, and how you can use it to improve your relationships. We end our conversation with advice on how to live life with more intentionality and meaning.Resources Related to the EpisodeHow to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale CarnegieHow to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale CarnegieThe Dale Carnegie Website, with links to the Take Command book page and the Dale Carnegie CourseAoM Article: The 8 Best Vintage Self-Improvement BooksAoM Podcast #818: The Philosophy of Self-ImprovementAoM Podcast #457: Leadership Lessons With Craig GroeschelAoM Podcast #527: The Journey to the Second Half of Life With Richard RohrAoM Podcast #518: The Second Mountain With David BrooksConnect With Joe HartJoe on TwitterJoe on LinkedIn

It’s time for another classic that both Mike and Joe are a bit embarrassed they haven’t read previously. And it turns out to be a book where the title doesn’t do it justice.

Dale Carnegie, author of 'How to Win Friends & Influence People', discusses the importance of interpersonal skills and the power of kindness and forgiveness. They talk about arousing an eager want in others, the significance of remembering names, and the value of being an attentive listener. They also explore the importance of making others feel important and avoiding arguments for better relationships. Other topics include admitting mistakes, the power of diplomacy and tact, negotiating, the power of a friendly approach, and the power of listening and sympathy in influencing others.

*Arguably the most influential self-help book of all time, Dale Carnegie’s bestseller had an immediate impact on publication in 1936, going through 17 editions in its first year alone, and coining a much-imitated phrase.  *Still highly popular today, How to Win Friends and Influence People is a paean to integrity and good humor in the name of healthy capitalism, and a touchstone of American self-improvement.  *People continue to flock to Dale Carnegie courses and swear by his simple, yet powerful, advice.  *In fact, it’s said that the only diploma hanging in Warren Buffett’s office is his certificate from Dale Carnegie’s training course.
