Here’s a brief history of personal development literature’s greatest hits.

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie (1936)
《人性的弱點(diǎn):如何贏得朋友并影響他人》（How to Win Friends and Influence People），作者戴爾•卡耐基（1936年）
Carnegie’s classic self-help book counts people as diverse as oracular investor Warren Buffet and murder-mastermind Charles Manson among its acolytes. The book, which comprises a recipe for getting ahead, has sold more than 15 million copies since it was first published. Transcribed with help from a stenographer (at the suggestion of a Simon & Schuster exec who heard Carnegie speak), this likeability manual spawned from a popular lecture course taught by Carnegie. Here’s a nugget of Carnegie’s counsel: “You can't win an argument. You can't because if you lose it, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it.”
