Think with Dale Carnegie's tools

12 Stations through Carnegie's two books, from the attention that wins one person to the preparation that carries a room, ending with a short talk of your own.

We connect two books that came out of the same classroom: interest, listening and persuasion from How to Win Friends and Influence People, then the same rules in front of a room from The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking. The order is a teaching order designed by BookYol, not the author's own.

    Destination: A Talk That Sounds Like You

    A short talk is prepared on one card, built as incident, ask and benefit, rehearsed aloud in different words and closed with one clear request.

The BookYol LetterTwo letters a week

For the road

The road is daily. The letter is weekly.

While you walk Think with Dale Carnegie's tools, two letters a week widen the view: a big idea on Tuesday and a small experiment on Friday, drawn from the same shelf of books.

Tuesday

The Big Idea

One idea that challenges an assumption, explained properly, with its source.

Friday

The Small Experiment

One small thing to try before Monday, so the idea becomes something you do.
