This is the first book that my Dad had me read "How to win friends and..."the only one actually. I read it when I was 8 or 9 years old. It is another of the required reading books in our home. I recommend it to all who are just beginning their quest on self improvement and creating better relationships. It is a book that focuses on the mechanics of working with people. Simple ideas that even a nine year old can figure out...

The second book, "How to Stop Worrying..." I bought when i was an LDS missionary in Ireland back in 1977. I found it to be a great book for me as it taught me to focus on the now instead of worrying about things I could not change. I have used the things it taught me throughout my life. I recommend it to everyone as a good beggining book with lots of mechanics on how to do as the title states. This is another book I have my children read as they go through the teen years.

Lifetime Plan for Success is a powerful, eminently readable book. There are no 'great secrets' revealed or psychobabble nonsense, just tried-and-true principles backed up by historical and personal anecdotes. This is the kind of book that everyone should own, and revisit regularly.

Two notes:

Surprisingly, I found the overarching lesson of How to Win Friends and Influence People to be quite cynical: people are self-centered, insecure, and emotional. If you overcome your own ego and (sincerely!) feed their ego, you’ll win friends and influence people.

How to Stop Worrying and Start Living is excellent, but Chapter 19 — which sees Carnegie climb on a pro-religion soapbox — falls flat. The other chapters promote an active, engaged mental process; Chapter 19 does not. Your mileage may vary, depending on your view of religion.
