48 Powers of Law is worth re-reading or at least one law per day

My friend told me about the book in 2003

I like Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People

Toby Young wrote How to Lose Friends and Alienate People

Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill is another good one

Yes - love them all - Would you say how to lose friends and alienate people is worth the read? I feel like consuming this content could create some of the behaviors...?

Toby Young is a political pundit/journalist. The title is sarcastic, the book is somewhat autobiographical, he moved from London to NYC to work for a magazine which was a miserable experience for him.

There was a movie with the same title based on the book but I haven't seen it, reviews are terrible

I don't recommend it unless you are familiar with Toby Young or interested in breaking into journalism or publishing.

The magazine was Vanity Fair, 1995 - 98
