How to Win Friends and Influence People was ranked the 7th most influential book of all time. Billionaire Warren Buffett called it the best investment he ever made. Charles Manson credited it with helping him manipulate others into murder.

That’s quite the spectrum.

I’ve read hundreds of self-help books and written seven myself. If I could recommend just one—it’d be Dale Carnegie’s timeless classic. Hopefully not to any psychopaths.

Carnegie died in 1956. Yet his book still sells 250,000 copies a year. And now, thanks to AI, you’re about to hear from the man himself.

In this episode:

🔹 Why he thinks the book has stood the test of time
🔹 Its single most important lesson
🔹 How leaders like Donald Trump win while breaking its rules
🔹 And what he’d rewrite if he were alive today

This is I Speak to Dead People. And today, we’re raising Dale Carnegie.

Thanks for listening to AMI: Augmenting My Intelligence. Where we explore what it means to grow in the age of AI—and how to stay deeply, beautifully human.
