Publisher's summary

Celebrating the 75 anniversary of the original landmark bestseller How to Win Friends and Influence People, comes an up-to-the-minute adaptation of Carnegie’s timeless prescriptions for the digital age.

Dale Carnegie’s principles have endured for nearly a century. Since its original publication in 1936, his timeless classic How to Win Friends and Influence People has gone on to sell 15 million copies. Now, introducing new listeners to Carnegie’s words of wisdom, comes How to Win Friends and Influence People in the Digital Age, a new guide for a new era.

Dale Carnegie could never have predicted the trajectory that new media would take, and the ways that the simple television screen would be adapted into computers and handheld communication devices. He didn’t know the term “social media” and Facebook was something not even dreamed of in Buck Rogers cartoons. And yet his lessons remain relevant for everyone who communicates online today. In fact, with problems such as cyber bullying and email etiquette, we need Carnegie’s help more than ever. Dale Carnegie and Associates, Inc. has re-imagined Carnegie’s lasting lessons for this difficult digital age, reframing Carnegie’s insights about communication, self-expression, and leadership. This book is a must-have guide for anyone who wants to find success on Facebook, Linked-In, Twitter, and any social media format today and in the future.

I’ve had the hard copy of this book for 2 years and could never bring myself to read it. I can honestly say I thought it would be boring. I couldn’t have been more wrong. This book has changed every single aspect of my personality, perspective, thinking, emotional intelligence and much more. It was definitely worth every minute.

Many and varied epiphanies!

Any additional comments?

A contemporary take on the seminal book by Carnegie - its hard not to vigorously nod your head constantly when you hear it read in a modern context,

I have made all of my staff listen to it and will make my kids read it when they hit teenage hood.
