"How to Win Friends and Influence People" is a 1936 self-help book written by Dale Carnegie. It has sold over 30 million copies worldwide, making it one of the
best-selling books of all time. This book is the perfect guide for understanding human nature and the importance of making others feel valued. It promotes good
communication, kindness, and social skills to foster healthy and productive working relationships. Some famous quotes from the book are "Every man I meet is
my superior in some way. In that, I learn from him" and "A person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language." The book
