 Dale
Breckenridge Carnegie (originally Carnagey until 1922 and possibly somewhat
later) (November 24, 1888 – November 1, 1955) was an American writer,
lecturer, and the developer of famous courses in self-improvement,
salesmanship, corporate training, public speaking, and interpersonal skills.
Born in poverty on a farm in Missouri, he was the author of How to Win
Friends and Influence People (1936), a massive bestseller that remains
popular today. He also wrote How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (1948),
Lincoln the Unknown (1932), and several other books. One of the core ideas
in his books is that it is possible to change other people's behavior by
changing one's reaction to them.
