How to Win Friends and Influence People & How to stop worrying and start living by Dale Carnegie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the first book that my Dad had me read “How to win friends and…”the only one actually. I read it when I was 8 or 9 years old. It is another of the required reading books in our home. I recommend it to all who are just beginning their quest on self improvement and creating better relationships. It is a book that focuses on the mechanics of working with people. Simple ideas that even a nine year old can figure out…
The second book, “How to Stop Worrying…” I bought when i was an LDS missionary in Ireland back in 1977. I found it to be a great book for me as it taught me to focus on the now instead of worrying about things I could not change. I have used the things it taught me throughout my life. I recommend it to everyone as a good beggining book with lots of mechanics on how to do as the title states. This is another book I have my children read as they go through the teen years.

Great books! I read “How to Win Friends …” when I was 14; Carnegie’s Key Principles are still a guide to my personal development and the creation of my relationships! I discovered it in the local library and I still have the notes I wrote while reading it. “How to Stop Worrying …” dropped into my life some years later and helped me to focus on the moment which among other things, continues to help me live a more fun, peaceful and productive life.
