How To Win Friends And Influence People

So the full title of the book is How to Win Friends and Influence People, no colon.

Wow.

C- c- c- c- combo breaker.

We've never had this.

(laughs)

It is published in 1936.

It sold... it's not clear how many copies it sold, but somewhere in the tens of millions.

It has been called the most popular non-fiction book since the Bible.

Mm.

So, of course, neither one of us are coming into this fresh, I assume.

I'm not really familiar with the contents of the book.

Mm.

I am aware that this is sort of, like, the OG business self-help book.

Yes.

But that's really, that's really it.

Over the years, I have heard various things about this book.

I've heard from people that this is, like, not that bad, and that most of the advice-

Yeah.

...

in it is pretty reasonable.

I've also heard that he's, like, a demon sent from hell.

Yeah.

So I went into this relatively open, I was like, "This could be good, this could be bad."

Mm-hmm.

I picked up the book, I opened it.
