How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
Surprisingly enough, this book has no dark underlying themes of extortion and manipulation =P
I was highly impressed and even a little inspired with the common sense wisedom this very old book had to offer. The fundamental idea was just - be really nice to people, hold your tongue when you would otherwise criticise and that listening properly is one of the highest compliments you can pay someone =D
I would reccommend this book to anyone who needs help with dealing with people... or making people like them ;) not mentioning any names, but it might even help one pick up the ladies... if one happened to be in the market...
Anyway. A good read, if a little out of date (all the examples are from the 1930's) Oh, and you will learn a bit about American history in the process... but the fundamental principles are solid. Give it a go, you might be surprised. =D
