Do you normally read a book and chalk it up as another book that you read and use as an example of a book that Classic should read or could stand to read ? I've never had an issue with making friends or an issue with influencing either. I'm actually pretty good at doing both of them.
I have Asperger's. I have poor facial recognition, so I have difficulty making friends. It is complicated, and you wouldn't understand it unless you had Asperger's or were trained in mental health.
Dale Carnegie's book has as a corollary that one can do things to avoid making enemies or looking like a horrible person.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
