So, what's the secret to making friends and influencing people? According to Carnegie, it's all about being genuinely interested in others. Yep, you read that right - it's not about faking it or trying to be someone you're not, but about actually caring about the people around you.
One of the quickest ways to make friends is to listen more than you talk. That's right, sometimes it's better to zip it and let others do the talking. By doing so, you'll not only learn more about the people around you, but you'll also become way more interesting to them.
