Believe it or not, 1936 is still relevant today, with plenty for us to learn
Indeed a book written more than 80 years ago holds no relevance in the modern-day? Surely our lives have moved on; surely weâre far more digitally-minded than those days? Well, yes, but regardless of technological advancements, it seems the human mind is still stuck in the â30s in so many ways!
Dale Carnegie spoke sense, and he told the truth â âdealing with people is probably the biggest problem you face.â True even today! By understanding the art of communication in a way that goes far beyond simply speaking words, youâll create opportunities for huge success throughout your life.
Learning to deal with people in the right way will open up your future potential in life, business, and relationships.
Learning to communicate in the right way, connecting with people at their most profound inner core, and using all of this in line with digital methods is your aim. These days the stakes are probably higher than they have ever been before. Digital methods mean that we can easily make a mistake, and itâs communicated across the globe virally, within seconds. Businesses, relationships, friendships, connections can all be broken with just the touch of a âsendâ button. By listening to the words that Dale Carnegie imparted upon us, youâll see that 1936 is still very relevant, even today.

Be careful of what you type and what you say
Social media is a blessing in many ways but a curse in so many others. It brings you closer to more people than you could ever have imagined but takes you away from those sitting right next to you. It can also be a make or break in terms of business and relationships. Take Ryan Babel, the Dutch footballer, as a good example. Feeling rather annoyed after his team, Liverpool, lost to Manchester United, he took to his Twitter account to vent his frustrations, calling out the refereeâs ability. The result? He was fined around $16,000.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In todayâs world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

Iâm enjoying what Iâm learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, Iâve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
