About this audiobook

Celebrating the seventy-fifth anniversary of the original landmark bestseller How to Win Friends and Influence People, comes an up-to-the-minute adaptation of Carnegie’s timeless prescriptions for the digital age.

Dale Carnegie’s principles have endured for nearly a century. Since its original publication in 1936, his timeless classic How to Win Friends and Influence People has gone on to sell 15 million copies. Now, introducing new listeners to Carnegie’s words of wisdom, comes How to Win Friends and Influence People in the Digital Age, a new guide for a new era.

Dale Carnegie could never have predicted the trajectory that new media would take, and the ways that the simple television screen would be adapted into computers and handheld communication devices. He didn’t know the term “social media” and Facebook was something not even dreamed of in Buck Rogers cartoons. And yet his lessons remain relevant for everyone who communicates online today. In fact, with problems such as cyber bullying and email etiquette, we need Carnegie’s help more than ever. Dale Carnegie and Associates, Inc. has re-imagined Carnegie’s lasting lessons for this difficult digital age, reframing Carnegie’s insights about communication, self-expression, and leadership. This book is a must-have guide for anyone who wants to find success on Facebook, Linked-In, Twitter, and any social media format today and in the future.

Ratings and reviews

The book's great, But my rating is due to a technical issue I face in this app. As soon as the screen turns off, so does the recording. So, I have to keep the screen on as if I am watching a video This did not happen when I listened to a previous book on the same app (Google Play Books).

I love when someone (computer) reads for me. But I also love to follow the reading. It makes it more interesting. Also the way to learn is to use your eyes, ears and mouth then all 3 are working together and you learn faster and retain more information. Can you have the ebook while google play book is reading from an Android device, anyone?

I think this book is by far, one of the best books I have ever read . To be extremely honest, I was quite surprised by the name of the book, thinking how exactly can someone tell me how to win friends and influence people, a phenomenon that is supposed to come to us naturally
