It just makes people defensive and breeds resentment. Think of How to Win Friends and Influence People, as oil for the gears of society. Read the whole book to get the most benefit from Carnegie’s lessons, and bookmark this page for a quick reference.

You could recognize one of these tactics being used on you, and still feel no ill will towards the person employing it. In 1936 Dale Carnegie wrote How to Win Friends and Influence People after intense study of effective leadership, the psychology behind why people like each other, and how to approach tough situations without giving offense.įar from being sneaky ways to get what you want, or sleazy selling tactics, the ways Carnegie describes how to properly interact with others would make the world a better place if universally adopted. Turns out, actually being a genuinely good person is the easiest way to have influence over others, and get them to like you–weird, I know. So begins Kristin Hannah's magnificent new novel.

Tully Hart seems to have it all-beauty, brains, ambition. Then, to her amazement, the "coolest girl in the world" moves in across the street and wants to be her friend. In the turbulent summer of 1974, Kate Mularkey has accepted her place at the bottom of the eighth-grade social food chain.

These two very different people start this unlikely friendship having never met each other, and separated by an ocean, through their love of books. Frank would always reply to her letters very formally and politely, which really added to its charm. This was absolutely delightful! I really loved Helene, she was sassy, bold, sometimes a little bit rude, and straight to the point. And what followed was 20 years of a beautiful friendship between two very different people who shared a mutual love of books. Helene started writing letters to secondhand bookshop Marks & Co (at 84 Charing Cross Road) in 1949 to request books that she couldn’t find in New York. The true life correspondence between Helene Hanff, a freelance writer living in New York, and Frank Doel, a secondhand bookseller working for Marks & Co in London. And the abortion at issue in Silva's case took place before the state's six-week abortion ban went into effect. The lawsuit accuses three women of helping Brittni Silva obtain abortion pills and then convincing her to conceal their 'murderous actions.'įurther complicating the case is provision that, in Texas, it is a crime to provide an abortion to someone else, but not to self-administer one. None of the women are facing criminal charges. He is suing each of the defendants - including Aracely Garcia - for $1million. His suit argues that a self-managed abortion in tantamount to murder under Texas law. Several months back, Silva filed suit in Galveston against three women who allegedly helped facilitate his ex-wife's abortion. 'Instead, he wanted to obtain evidence he could use against her if she refused to stay under his control, which is precisely what he tried to do.' 'He wasn’t interested in stopping her from terminating a possible pregnancy. 'Rather than talking with about what he found or disposing of the pill, Silva took photos of the texts and surreptitiously put the pill back,' reads the suit. Noyola and Carpenter's countersuit states that Silva was aware that Brittni was making arrangements to get an abortion but did nothing to intervene. Wade last summer, Texas put into effect one of the strictest abortion laws in the nation Or connect with other readers on our Facebook page.
