We wanted to get back to the original as closely as possible, while simultaneously touching it up for tomorrow, so we started fresh and worked from the first 1936 edition, the undiluted source. We have eliminated some of the references to people or events that readers today would not recognize or that we felt were out of touch with today’s world, including some material that was added later on in the 1981 revision. This is only a touch-up, as we did not want to rewrite a classic or diminish the magic of my father’s voice. We have not “changed” How to Win Friends. We have kept the breezy, brash Carnegie style-even the ’30s slang is still there-his voice encouraging his readers to make what are often sweeping changes in the way they relate to their families, coworkers, and community. My father wrote just as he spoke, in an intensely exuberant, conversational manner stemming from his rural Midwestern roots, and we didn’t want to change that. “In this new edition we have continued my father’s tradition of keeping his work timely for the next generation of readers without straying from the powerful authenticity of the original. Readers can learn how to get the job they want, improve the job they have, and make the best of any situation.The classic that has improved and transformed the personal and professional lives of millions – New and updated for the next generation of leaders. The original edition was published in response to the Great Depression, and this fresh hardcover edition will appeal now more than ever to readers wanting tried and true advice on how to deal with a depressed economy. As relevant as ever before: In the age of Steven Covey and Tony Robbins, Dale Carnegie's principles endure. His book teaches these skills by showing readers how to value others and make them feel appreciated rather than manipulated. Proven advice for success in life: Carnegie believed that most successes come from an ability to communicate effectively rather than from brilliant insights. Carnegie's first book is timeless and appeals equally to business audiences, self-help audiences, and general readers alike. One of the best known motivational books in history: Since it was released in 1936, "How to Win Friends and Influence People" has sold more than 15 million copies.
