![]() So it was with great delight that Peldi enthusiastically mentioned to me a few months back that there was an old book he had just learned about from the 1930's about working with people. (My friends can confirm I have a rather big pile) □ I added the book to the pile of other old-fashioned quirky things that I personally love, but others find a bit dusty. After a few similar reactions, I eventually stopped trying to recommend what I found to be so useful. ![]() I remember telling some friends about it in high school or college, and their reaction was basically that it sounded a bit hokey and old-fashioned. I can't remember the names of most of those books, but one did stick with me, Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People. I suspect the first was The Little Engine that Could, a sort of early introduction to positive thinking. When I was growing up my parents paid me to read books they thought had value for my personal growth. ![]()
