How to Win Friends and Influence People
Dale Carnegie wrote “How to Win Friends and Influence People” to fill a gap in literature about everyday business social skills, believing that technical knowledge accounts for only 15% of financial success, while 85% comes from social and leadership skills. Drawing from extensive research and 15 years of experimentation, the book has transformed many lives, turning enemies into friends and boosting profits for salespeople and executives. The key to its effectiveness is applying its principles in real life.
How to Think and Grow Rich
Napoleon Hill, inspired by business magnate Andrew Carnegie, published “Think and Grow Rich” in 1937 to share a “money-making secret” known to successful figures like Theodore Roosevelt and Thomas Edison.

Carnegie believed this secret could revolutionize education and should be taught in schools. Hill aimed to make it accessible to the general public.

How organized are you?
