Dale Carnegie was a best-selling author, prominent lecturer, and sought-after counselor. Born in 1888 in Maryville, Missouri, he was devoted to public speaking from his teenage years. An aspiring actor and unsuccessful salesman, he moved to New York City and began teaching communications classes to adults at the YMCA. In 1912, the world-famous Dale Carnegie Course was born.
After serving in the army in World War I, Carnegie turned to a tour to promote his ideas about success through public speaking. In 1936, he wrote How to Win Friends and Influence People, which became an immediate success and one of the biggest sellers of all time. He also authored the bestseller How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. Over 50 million copies of Carnegie’s books have been printed in 38 languages.
In demand as a lecturer and writer, Carnegie began a syndicated newspaper column, had his own daily radio show, and organized the Dale Carnegie Institute for Effective Speaking and Human Relations with branches all over the world. Carnegie was convinced that it is never too late for people to realize their full potential.
