This book contains a whole lot of stuff that really should be clear to each of us - only we have just (as opposed to Dale Carnegie) never really thought about it ... That thing is still as relevant as it was then, even though the 1001 stories are some of the time on the topic "How do I motivate my Assemblyman". But this one mutated in reading this book for admirers of Franklin Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln and other famous in those days heads of anno. The only downer - the book is too long, you have to 1 page of each chapter actually understood what Dale wants to tell us. Still worth reading!
