Dale Carnegie (1888-1955) was an American writer and lecturer whose 1936 book, How to Win Friends and Influence People, became one of the best-selling self-help books of all time, with more than 30 million copies sold worldwide. Born in rural Missouri, Carnegie worked as a salesman before turning to public speaking instruction, eventually developing courses on communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills that evolved into the Dale Carnegie Training organization, still operating in dozens of countries today. His central argument, that success depends far more on the ability to understand and influence people than on technical knowledge, drew on practical observation rather than academic psychology, and its plain, anecdote-driven style set the template that later self-help and business writers, including many on this shelf, would follow.
