HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE #1

For the next C4E project, I will be reading the entrepreneurship book, "How to Make Friends and Influence People." This book is a classic in entrepreneurship and I am excited to begin reading it for this class. The book was written by Dale Carnegie. More than 15 million copies have been sold and the book is widely renowned in the field of entreprenuership as well as many many others. I read the forward of the book which is meant to convince people to read the rest of the book. The book is written in a storytelling and conversational tone which I am enjoying because I don't much care for the dry tone many similar books have. The stories of Al Capone, and other big gangster and public enemies are being psychoanalyzed to show why certain tactics, such as criticisms, is ineffective and doesn't help get a leaders point across. So in short, this book is so far interesting and I look forward to reading it!
