About the Author:
Dale Carnegie (1888–1955) was an American writer, lecturer, and pioneer in the field of self-improvement, communication skills, and interpersonal effectiveness. Born into modest circumstances in Missouri, he developed an early interest in public speaking, which later led him to create the famous Dale Carnegie Courses in self-confidence and human relations. His teachings emphasized the importance of emotional intelligence long before the term existed. Carnegie’s books—including How to Stop Worrying and Start Living—have sold millions of copies worldwide and transformed the lives of countless readers. His legacy continues today through Dale Carnegie Training, a global organization that carries forward his principles of effective communication, leadership, and relationship-building.
