I have about 200 or so to convince people to read.

I didn't want to list them all at once.

How to win friends is a good read, but the personality plus book achieves the same goal , "relate and be relatable to people" in a much shorter book.

Carnegies book is geared more to getting people to do what you want, and thanking you for it.

The goal isn't to get others to do what you want, but to develop the discipline to do the things that need to be done, in order to achieve wealth, health , and happiness.

You can have all the money in the world, but if you hate your spouse and don't know your kids, was it worth it.

You can spend hours upon hours attaining wealth, but if your health suffers, what have you really gained.

But Carnegie is a good book

If you read 200 words per minute and you read for 20 minutes a day, you will read 20 - 200 page books a year

the average person reads less than one.

What is it to be average?

Average - the top of the bottom and the bottom of the top.

It's like kissing your sister.
