Over the\xa0last year, my 12-year-old son has been doing one challenge every\xa0week as a rite of passage and chance to earn a special trip. Some of these challenges have involved reading a book in a week, and the most recent book we gave him to read was\xa0How to Win Friends & Influence People\xa0by Dale Carnegie. His review? He said it was the best book he's read so far.\n\nSo a book written almost 90 years ago can still be a favorite of a kid in the 21st century. Talk about some staying power. \n\nThe advice in\xa0How to Win Friends & Influence People, and Dale Carnegie's other classic,\xa0How to Stop Worrying and Start\xa0Living, is timeless. But to help introduce it to a new audience, my guest, Joe Hart, has recently\xa0co-authored the book\xa0Take Command, which synthesizes, updates, and adds to the principles\xa0of Carnegie's two perennial\xa0bestsellers. Joe is the President\xa0and CEO of Dale Carnegie & Associates, which continues Carnegie's work in the\xa0present day, and we begin our conversation with some background on the guy who kicked off this work back in 1936. We then talk about what principles we can take from\xa0How to Stop Worrying and Start Living\xa0on developing a positive\xa0mindset. From there, we talk about the big overarching\xa0principle of\xa0How to Win Friends & Influence People, and how you can use it to improve\xa0your relationships. We end our conversation with advice on how to live life with more intentionality and meaning.
