This week Nic and Adam are continuing their self-help kick by taking a look at Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People and Samuel Smiles' Self Help. As with the previous book, Nic is much more receptive than Adam who is bitter and jaded. Nevertheless, here at An Unqualified Guide to the Good Life, we are not snobby about where we obtain our wisdom from, and we try to tease out the value nevertheless!
Adam's audio is a little wacky this episode. Will try and fix it for next time, apologies!
Also, a few corrections: Adam said it sold half a million copies by the time Sam Smiles died, but actually this was a quarter of a million. Furthermore, when Adam said "Great Men of history, and it is almost exclusively men", he meant those who had managed to be featured in this book.
