Read this book when i was 17. Was an extremely shy and awkward kid. Book CHANGED my life. Top 3 best books that was transformative. Thanks for a great reminder of an old goodie!
Same. My parents were boomers and they had this on their shelf. I picked it up in 7th grade. It was transformative. Simply saying a person's name was a huge tactic that earned me "friends". "Hi Stacy!" So simple, so effective for a middle school kid in the US.

Love the book and well done summarizing it. The only personal view that differs from it, based on a little experience, is rather than “avoiding arguments”, key is “finding the right balance between being too compliant and too confrontational”. Keep up!
Exactly. As said in Jordan Petersons books, being to passive in life and agreeable can be disastrous as you are more likely to be manipulated and controlled by people, and you won’t do a damn thing because you are too nice and nod your head to everything.
This book was in our bookcase when I was a kid in the 60's, My dad raised 5 kids with the info he got from it, He was a salesman until he died in 1999. My sister still has his copy.
I'm really interested in your story. Could u tell it actually helped u and ur brothers/sisters to have better relationships with people through your lives?
This book wouldn’t exist if humans could drop their pride for 10 seconds. This book broke my heart. I’ll be what others won’t. Day after day. Year after year
This book helped my relationship with co-workers and bosses. I became very popular at work. I had a pretty smooth work life. I still use this principle after the retirement with anyone I meet.
In admitting mistakes it is worth saying not to apologize profusely. To take ownership of a bad outcome relieves others and it’s generally enough . Apologies are powerful but too many gives an impression you are not trustworthy or weak .
Great video, Tae. How to Win Friends & Influence is one of my favorite books of all time. It taught me of the small details that affect friendships and relationships. Thanks for the reminder of Dale’s great lessons!
I would not say that someone who fought for slavery admitting that he lost the war because of his tactical and strategic mistakes is a good character example. If he admitted that the slavery was wrong after the war, that would have been something that could be given a credit for. At least he did not claim that the war was “stollen”.
In my experience people don't reciprocate these actions so why bother. Most of them are too self involved. It's no fun being on the listening side the majority of the time.
Your experience is interesting. Personally, I find the opposite is true. It is a great joy to listen to people sincerely, after years and years of only caring about my interests and problems.
I enjoy your videos but some constructive criticism I have to make your videos more enjoyable is that you don’t need to keep saying the title of the video as you’re going into each new topic. It is very repetitive and impacts my want to keep watching and to watch more on your channel.
I've done better in life by being indifferent to people and going against the grain. I often think pleasing others is massively overrated and in the end actually counter productive if you want to achieve your potential.
