Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People continued to amaze me with its simple but riveting points. Carnegie would use light praise or questioning instead of ordering to be more likable. Carnegie used personal and historical anecdotes throughout the book to convey his points. Unlike the beginning, which I already posted about, many of the suggestions became more complex compared to the first few.

Toews.Heggedal While in the beginning, it would consist of small gestures, by the end, it would be directions on specific things to say. I would suggest other self-help books like Rich Dad Poor Dad and Atomic Habits, but after finishing the book, I believe if you enjoyed it, it would be interesting to read any books written about some of the figures mentioned in this one, such as John D Rockefeller jr, Teddy D Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln to see the points- 2w
Toews.Heggedal mentioned in action. Generally, the central idea that Carnegie was trying to teach was to be personable. He would use anecdotes to explain how it applies to the readers' own lives. Every point Carnegie makes connects to being personable and making people feel good about themselves, that is his idea on How To Win Friends and Influence People.

This book has transformed me from a socially immature person to a more socially skillful person. At first, I didn‘t know how to settle an argument and believed that winning an argument can earn my pride. This book tells me I‘m totally wrong. Winning an argument loses others‘ faces and takes away their precious self-pride.

Highly recommend if you want to polish your social skill. It‘s my life saviour.
