How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

I second this book: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

This comes from my reading of Schroeder's authorized biography.

I agree it's great, but the summary serves just as well! http://sameffect.com/how-to-win-friends-and-influence-people...
