The masterpiece on human relations adapted for the modern listener.

How to Win Friends and Influence People is the book that gave birth to the self-help industry and has remained in print since its publication in 1936.

Its staying power comes from precision. Dale Carnegie observed everyday human behavior with unusual clarity and wrote down what he saw.

This is not a book about charm, tricks, or getting your way but about understanding how people actually work. Carnegie stripped away ego, argument, and force, and showed that influence grows from attention, respect and genuine interest.

Why, then, update a classic that still holds true?

Because while the ideas have endured, the language and presentation have aged. The insight is still there, but it does not always move as effortlessly as it could for a modern listener.

This Modern Listener’s Edition preserves Carnegie’s original wisdom while updating the language for modern listening. The work is presented in full, retaining the original structure and content that were shortened in later editions, without the archaic phrasing of the 1930s.
