There are more, of course, and I read more.

I also read (and put in practice) university business books.

I may add more later, depending.

I don't know about the validity of this link, and I may remove (or it may be removed).

I read the title of the thread and thought you were writing your own and looking for some random titles like:

- Eating Elephants
- The S**t / Shinola Gap
- Shark Taming

For real books:
- The No A**hole Rule (actual title): http://www.amazon.com/The-*******-Rule-Civilized-Workplace/dp/0446698202/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1402622560&sr=8-1&keywords=no+*******+rule

Table of Contents


Systems Analysis and Design Methods, 4th Ed.


I found some older version of this...
Hoping to purchase some other versions (and my original one) shortly as it is required for my work (and business)...

I had to learn from the Second edition, (now fairly rare), and had to purchase the 3rd edtion (new).
I should get it today or shortly in the near future next week. (if not, then I hope later, as soon as possible.)

I work very hard on that for over 20 years now.


I'm looking for more, but can't remember them all yet.


I had a 5th generation computer book with many references in it, from around 1983...
The fifth generation: Japan's computer challenge to the world.

CHAPTER 3

FAITH

VISUALIZATION OF, AND BELIEF IN ATTAINMENT OF DESIRE

The Second Step toward Riches
Think and Grow Rich
by Napoleon Hill
(1937)

FAITH is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!

FAITH is the basis of all "miracles," and all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of science!

FAITH is the only known antidote for FAILURE!
...
FAITH is the only agency through which the cosmic force of Infinite Intelligence can be harnessed and used by man.

EVERY ONE OF THE FOREGOING STATEMENTS IS CAPABLE OF PROOF!

The proof is simple and easily demonstrated. It is wrapped up in the principle of auto-suggestion. Let us center our attention, therefore, upon the subject

p. 72

of self-suggestion, and find out what it is, and what it is capable of achieving.

Part 1 - Fundamental Techniques In Handling People
• 1 - "If You Want to Gather Honey, Don't Kick Over the Beehive"
Carnegie begins this chapter with a discussion on criticism. He comments that criticism puts people on the defensive and compels them to defend their actions without regard to the character of their own actions. Criticism damages one's sense of pride, self-worth, and arouses resentment. Carnegie comments that criticizing does not encourage durable improvements or influences people's actions positively. In short, humans thirst for approval.
...
Carnegie comments that one should begin at home changing one's self before criticizing or complaining about or to others. Carnegie sums up his thoughts stating to seek sympathy, understanding, and kindness. He suggested to forgive all. Do not condemn, complain, or criticize.

Principle 1: Do not condemn, complain, or criticize
The Big Secret of Dealing With People

Principle 2: Give honest and sincere appreciation
He Who Can Do This Has the Whole World With Him, He Who Cannot Walks Alone.
Commentary: Stephen Covey expands with his "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" on Dale Carnegie's notion that each party should gain. Covey' s Habit 4 is to think win-win.

Principle 3: Arouse Eager Want in Others
Commentary: ...Covey's habits of beginning with the end in mind, thinking win-win, seeking to understand before being understood, and synergizing are habits that Carnegie has touched on in his first three principles.

Overall Carnegie shows through numerous historical accounts of individuals transformed, how these three principles changed their lives. Carnegie urges each of us to adopt these principles and put them into practice.

Please feel free to comment and discuss these principles.

How to Win Friends and Influence People is divided into four sections; we will use Carnegie’s outline division and example along with Biblical parallels.

1) Fundamental Techniques to handling people

2) Six ways to make people like you

3) How to win people over to your way of thinking

4) Be a leader

Part 1: Fundamental techniques for handling people

In this part of this study we will examine the basic underlying aspects of all human beings. What makes people the way they are, and why do they respond the way they do. In Part 1, we will look at 3 fundamental areas of human “Nature” and how to handle people.

1. Don’t criticize, condemn or complain.

2. Give honest and sincere appreciation

3. Arouse in the other person an eager want.

1. Don’t criticize, condemn or complain
