How To Win Friends & Influence People – Dale Carnegie

In his book, Dale Carnegie provides a variety of strategies that can help you win friends and influence people without offending them. One of the first ideas he talks about is the idea that arguments should be avoided, as they’re typically impossible to win. According to Carnegie, an argument ends with both sides believing that they are right. Even if you win, you still lose, usually due to hurting the other person’s pride by making them feel inferior. One of the next strategies that Carnegie recommends is to never tell someone that they’re wrong. Instead of trying to convince people to agree with you, Carnegie suggests that you should instead work together to find out what makes them think they’re right. According to Carnegie, this method can help you influence people in ways that are beneficial to you.
