How to Enjoy Your Life and Your Job
Dale Carnegie · 2017
61/100
👎 Skip It
Dale Carnegie's wisdom on attitude, relationships, and work satisfaction has proven its staying power for good reason, but this compilation offers nothing you wouldn't get—and get better—by reading the original two classics it draws from. If you've never read Carnegie before, start with How to Stop Worrying and Start Living or How to Win Friends and Influence People instead. This anthology is a shortcut that mostly just saves you the experience of the real thing.
