How to Win Friends and Influence People in the Digital Age
by Dale Carnegie & Associates
The Carnegie organization updates the classic principles for email, social media and remote work. The principles survive; the examples are of their moment and the writing lacks Carnegie's voice. Useful for readers who want the ideas applied to screens.
Read it if…
you want the classic principles explicitly applied to digital communication.
Skip it if…
you can translate the original yourself; it is better.
Three things you will actually use
- Digital amplifies tone; be more careful, not less.
- Interest in others transfers to every medium.
- Praise publicly, correct privately, online too.
Do this first
Before sending a critical email, rewrite it beginning with honest appreciation.
Our verdict
Useful translation, lesser voice.
