Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to our next core lesson. It's our fifth core lesson on being likable. I have a quick question for you. Did you know that being likeable can have a huge impact on your career, your relationships, and your life in general. So of course, Today our topic is how to be more likeable. And our quote for today comes directly from the book we'll talk about in a second from Dale Carnegie, this quote goes like, you can make more friends in two months by becoming more interested in people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you.

That means don't waste your time trying to impress people, people can see right through that sort of behavior. Instead, you want to be as genuine as possible, and try to be genuinely interested in others. So having said that, let's go through the major sections of this particular lesson. Those are of course number one, introduction and mystery question number two, Why be likable? Can you guess? Three, we're going to go over the six principles of likability, and we'll cut those six principles into sections themselves.

Then we'll answer the mystery question. And you might be pleasantly surprised. We'll say, first, let's talk a little bit about Dale Carnegie and his book, How to Win Friends and Influence People. And you can see I have that copy right behind me, right here. How to Win Friends and Influence People is a self help book written by Dale Carnegie, and it was published in 1936. I know that seems like a long time ago, but the principles today are the same as they were in 1936.

And really, these things aren't going to change as long as we're still human. Beans, and this book is really popular. Over 15 million copies have been sold worldwide, and translated into 36 languages, which is huge, making it one of the best selling books of all time. This book also happens to be one of the best books I have ever read, in my opinion. So I really recommend that you take the time and find this book, order it from Amazon, go to your local bookstore. But whatever you do, get this book, take the time to read it.

And it's one of those books that you don't just read and finish, you really refer back to it over the years because it's really that important. So why don't you take a note, and maybe add this to your personal development list of books. And you may have guessed this lesson is really greatly based on part two of this particular book, how to become more likeable. So the question here the mystery question here is who is the The greatest winner of friends take a moment. What could I mean? Who do you think it's the number one amount of friends?

Who do you think is the most likeable? Dale Carnegie? Start section two of his book with this question by describing the greatest winner of friends the world has ever known. And let's look at it, quote unquote. He said, you may meet him tomorrow coming down the street. If you stop, you will almost jump out of his skin to show you how much he likes you.

And you know that behind the show affection on his part, there's no ulterior motive. He doesn't want to sell you any real estate and he doesn't want to marry you. He makes his living by giving you nothing but love. So can you guess who would win this award on likeability, popularity, and overall being great? As we go throughout this course and you try to answer this mystery question. It'd be great if you took a little bit of time and googled Dale Carnegie you I'd be pleasantly surprised to understand more about him.

And we talked about his book, How to Win Friends and Influence People. It's a fantastic book. As I said just a few seconds ago. I really recommend it take the time to get to know it a little bit better order it from Amazon, make it part of your collection. And the mystery question is, who is the greatest winner friends, can you guess by the end of this core section? Okay, let's go ahead and get ready for the second part of this core section.
