I was curious to see how this latest reprint would tackle modern \u201cinfluencing\u201d, but it didn\u2019t broach the subject and as far as I can see, the changes in this edition are all style and structure related and the book also seems to be somewhat condensed. <em>How To Win Friends and Influence People<\/em> was first published in 1936 and has remained a consistent best-seller in each subsequent decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I first encountered a grubby, yellowed hard-cover version of this book, which was missing a jacket, among my father\u2019s haphazard collection in my teens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every teen wants to be popular so I read through the first chapters with relish until I got about midway where a whole chapter interrupted the flow with \u201chomework\u201d, which quickly put me off. This homework chapter was greatly reduced in subsequent reprints and now appears at the front of the book in bullet point form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"268799\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/headline-dummy-text\/how-to-win-friends-bpb-sticker6-qxd\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/carnegie-cover.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1524,2400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Mac4&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;how to win friends Bpb sticker(6).qxd&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"how to win friends Bpb sticker(6).qxd\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/carnegie-cover-650x1024.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/carnegie-cover-650x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-268799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/carnegie-cover-650x1024.jpg 650w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/carnegie-cover-191x300.jpg 191w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/carnegie-cover-768x1209.jpg 768w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/carnegie-cover.jpg 1524w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This reprint of Dale Carnegie&#8217;s enduringly popular book is slimmer than the original.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I found my father&#8217;s bedraggled copy again many years later, I decided to give it another go &#8211; but gave up again. This time it was the plethora of anecdotes that supported each point which became too tiresome. Subsequent reprints appear to have whittled these anecdotes down too and this edition only had a few per chapter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now in my middle age, I think I have finally cracked the best way to read this book. Maybe it\u2019s the slimmed-down format that made it more digestible, but I took heed of one of the bullet points and skim-read the<a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/goodwood-author-shameez-patel-takes-readers-on-magical-adventures\/\"> book<\/a>, first. One of the book\u2019s own pieces of advice about itself is that it is best enjoyed in short, savoured bites and when I tried that method, I found myself making far better progress &#8211; at reading it, that is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fundamentally, the base premise of this book is about understanding people. Its seven key principles all teach empathy and each takes practice.
