One of the greatest books about the art of communication of all time, if not the greatest, How to Win Friends and Influence People remains as relevant today as it did when it was first published back in 1937. In essence, it is the common sense behind interactions with others – about listening, being respectful and being clear in your own communication.

I listened to the audio version, but whether you listen or read, it is one to go back to time and time again. More recent versions have been updated to include email and internet communications, though the one I listened to had yet to include the explosion in popularity of social media.

This is one of a small handful of books that IMHO everyone should read when they leave school. It’s that important – and could have the potential to really make a difference in anyone’s life. There are lots of good books about communications around these days, including many that include or derive from NLP principles, but this is the “big daddy”.
