Dale Carnegie’s book How to Win Friends and Influence People seems to some the epitome of cheesiness, a guide to manipulating people. Yet the actual contents deserve a better treatment—and a better title. Perhaps How Not to be a Jerk would more accurately describe the book: it’s a guide to treating people decently and with respect. Here’s a post that outlines the contents.
Written for the man who wants to enjoy his shave. User comment: "I bought this as a gift for my fiancé, along with a wet-shaving starting kit and a safety razor. He DEVOURED this book, and finds himself reading it again and again. He finally enjoys shaving. This book has helped him figure out so many things about wet shaving, and has recommended it to all of his friends and family. Truly a great source of information for any man."

I remember my mother saying that her dad (therefore, my grandfather) was a total introvert, who didn’t ever talk to anyone – including his kids. He read Dale Carnegie’s book and was never again the same person. He became gregarious and friendly. So, the book made a difference in at least one person’s life.
