Before readingWhy I picked it up

I grew up very introverted, and I needed to learn how to get out of my shell and connect with people. Some individuals that I admire recommended this book. Despite being published in 1936! It's still all the more relevant today. I had a lot of confidence that this book was battle tested and would help build stronger friendships and connections.

After readingPosted July 4, 2014

This timeless book by Dale Carnegie is a story about respect and empathy. We all should take notice of the little things, showing our appreciation for others and commitment towards building a relationship. The lessons from this book are simple one's that we sometimes forget, if made awarer, we could have many more opportunities and lasting friendships. Emotional intelligence is increasingly important in our ultra-connected world.

Notes for this book are still being transcribed.
