How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie (1937); i think it's a must-read book for everyone, from child to old. It should be implemented as obligatory read in school.

Why you may be thinking ? Because this books shows people (as plain as it's title) how to make friends, real friends and how to influence on people by basically , treating them well. It's a text of old-school manners. And it's tells you that the key it's not being an adulator but being honest and kind.

Nowadays society and the newer generations alienated by technology sometimes needs to connect positively with people. With this book you will learn how to make great win-win relationships even with your worse "enemy" right now.

My favorite chapter on this books is ; "How to criticize and not being hated for it" because let's face it , we all know we know better and may want to chance someone or something but you'll find that if your not getting any results , then you are doing it wrong!

This is where the "influence" people part gets in.

My favorite quote from this book ; "the only way for someone to do something, is that they want to do it" ... and that's what this book is going to make you think ; "how do i make somebody wanting to do this"

I put this principles in practice every day or at least i try to do so and it has changed my life ,even my wife now notice.

Try to read it every year, you'll love it.
