Features: This book is the originator of motivational literature, first published in 1937. Since its initial release, it has been a bestseller, having sold 15 million copies to date. It remains just as practical today as it was when first published, because Dale Carnegie has a profound understanding of the unchanging nature of human beings. Carnegie believed: "Only 15% of financial success is due to professional knowledge, while 85% is due to 'the ability to express one's views, the ability to take leadership responsibility, and the ability to inspire people.'" Carnegie illustrated these important points with examples from famous historical figures, business leaders, and ordinary people in daily life.
