Hey /lit/
So I just finished reading this and I really enjoyed it but just seemed about 80 years out of date. I was wondering if anyone had some other good recommendations for a more modern version.

Anything in particular?

Bump. I'd be interested too.

Do you recommend reading it nonetheless?

I'd recommend it (not OP)
It boils down to "be interested in others, stop talking about yourself, everybody just wants to talk about themselves, use that to your advantage", which is a bit depressing, but useful for "business stuff", not so much in making "actual friends"
Pic related is very nice, but can be summed up quickly:
People only care about themselves. Use this to your advantage.
After you read Carnegie, I suggest reading Machiavelli, and after Machiavelli, I suggest reading Marcus Aurelius.
Should you have any modicum of social skills, with a little practice, your standing with others will improve, and your relationships will grow stronger.
How to be a Gentleman by John Bridges is a great book on social graces

Confirming this post.
Machiavelli and Aurelius is a good follow up to this.

Also Gracian's art of wordly wisdom, lads. He's like the Machiavelli of personal relationships.

Cool, good to know. I've known about Aurelius and always meant to read it. But always neglected Machiavelli and now all of a sudden I got excited by the idea of reading him. I might even pick him up for next semester classes - Reading philosophical text - which basically consists of reading one text for the entire semester and Prince is one of the choices.
