How to Win Friends and Influence People became such a phrase, quoted, paraphrased, parodied, used in innumerable contexts from political cartoon to novels. It touched a nerve and filled a human need that was more than a faddish phenomenon of post-Depression days, as evidenced by its continued and uninterrupted sales into the eighties, almost half a century later.ĭale Carnegie used to say that it was easier to make a million dollars than to put a phrase into the English language. How to Win Friends and Influence People took its place in publishing history as one of the all-time international best-sellers. To their amazement, the book became an overnight sensation, and edition after edition rolled off the presses to keep up with the increasing public demand. Neither Dale Carnegie nor the publishers, Simon and Schuster, anticipated more than this modest sale. How to Win Friends and Influence People was first published in 1937 in an edition of only five thousand copies.
