About Dale Carnegie

Dale Breckenridge Carnegie was an American writer, self-improvement course developer and lecturer, corporate trainer and public speaker. He is best remembered for his books: How to Win Friends and Influence People, How to Stop Worrying and Start Living and Lincoln the Unknown.
Struggling through poverty in his childhood, Carnegie studied at the State Teacher's College in Warrensburg. He worked in various sales jobs until he quit to become a lecturer but became an actor instead and not a very successful one at that. He then began developing, what is now called, the Dale Carnegie Course by asking people at the YMCA to speak on what makes them angry. His course remains one of the foremost modules on self-improvement and is used as a corporate training program even today.
