How to Win Friends and Influence People

In 12 stations you become the person who persuades without hurting, disagrees without arguing and corrects without damaging the relationship, with Dale Carnegie's rules.

We don't summarise the book; we put one of its rules in your hands each day. No criticism, honest appreciation, an eager want, genuine interest and names, listening, making people feel important, no arguments, admitting mistakes fast, letting it be their idea, and correcting with praise: every station gives you a step you can take today.
