It’s back! The BEST ever book for personal development!

Really. This is the book that everyone in the ‘personal development’ business has plagiarised since it was first published in 1936. Read it and you will recognise the practicality of Carnegie’s advice. This is the one book that can really revive your relationships, maximise your ability to deal with life’s problems and improve your personal dealings exponentially.

This latest edition from Random House has been updated with contemporary examples (it is still a little old-fashioned but none the worse for that) and some of the now obscure references have been removed. The power of the book remains intact.

How to Win Friends claims to help you:

Get out of your rut
Make friends
Increase your popularity
Win others over
Increase your ability to get things done
Handle complaints
Become a better speaker
Arouse enthusiasm

So, pretty comprehensive. Buy it and read it – you will be glad you did!
