Dale Carnegie (1888–1955) described himself as a "simple country boy" from Missouri but was also a pioneer of the self-improvement genre. Since the 1936 publication of his first book, How to Win Friends and Influence People, he has touched millions of readers and his classic works continue to impact lives to this day. Carnegie's other popular books include How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, The Art of Public Speaking, and The Leader in You.
