Features: Dale Carnegie focuses on a sufferer, a great survival. In a word, he focuses on how a person who has suffered endures and creates a great life in the world. As one of the greatest figures in human history, Lincoln experienced a legendary destiny: he rose from a poor rural background to become the revered President of the United States, signed the Emancipation Proclamation, won the Civil War, and was ultimately assassinated. This is almost the Lincoln every biographer sees, but Dale Carnegie has a unique perspective. He does not focus on these things; he focuses on a sufferer, a great survival. In a word, he focuses on how a person who has suffered endures and creates a great life in the world. Thus, in this biography, we see an unprecedentedly intimate quality, and it is this quality that makes us unable to let go and ultimately leaves us in tears.
