I've read a few self-help books to date. Everything from finance to productivity.

But whenever I get asked for a recommendation, I always give the same answer.

Read "How to Win Friends & Influence People." By Dale Carnegie.

For a few reasons:

• Reason #1: It teaches you how to deal with people

• Reason #2: It teaches you how to become likable

• Reason #3: It teaches you how to get others to agree with you

• Reason #4: It teaches you how to change other's minds without causing resentment

Overall, it's a masterclass on human relations, a lifelong skill for everyone.

What this book has done for me:

• It helped me go from an introvert to an extrovert

• It helped me influence recruiters and get hired for 4+ jobs

• It helped me make new friends - I used to have no plans on a Friday night, now my weekends are booked 2 or 3 weeks in advanced

That's just my story. I'm sure we all have different goals, but whatever you're looking to gain, I promise you'll get something out of this book.
