Here are some more examples of how to apply the principles from "How to
Win Friends and Influence People" in everyday life:

Fundamental Techniques in Handling People:

Don't criticize, condemn, or complain: Instead of complaining about the service at


a restaurant, focus on what you liked about the experience and offer feedback on
how they could improve it.
Give honest and sincere appreciation: Thank your partner for doing the dishes or
making dinner, and let them know how much you appreciate their help.
Arouse in the other person an eager want: When trying to persuade your child to do
their homework, focus on the benefits of learning rather than the consequences of
not doing it.
Six Ways to Make People Like You:

Become genuinely interested in other people: Ask your neighbor about their garden
or their pets, and listen to their stories with enthusiasm.
Smile: Smile at the people you pass on the street, or when you greet a colleague in
the office.
Remember people's names: Use someone's name when you greet them or say goodbye, and
make a note of their name if you need to remember it for future interactions.
Be a good listener: When your friend is going through a tough time, listen to them
without judgment and offer your support.
Talk in terms of the other person's interests: When catching up with a family
member, ask them about their favorite hobbies or TV shows and show genuine interest
in their responses.
Make the other person feel important: Praise your child for their accomplishments
and let them know how proud you are of them.
How to Win People to Your Way of Thinking:

The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it: When discussing
politics with a friend who has different views than you, focus on finding common
ground and areas of agreement rather than trying to convince them that you're
right.
Show respect for the other person's opinions: When your colleague suggests a
different approach to a project, listen to their reasoning and consider their
perspective before making a decision.
If you're wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically: When you make a mistake at
work, take responsibility for it and offer a solution for how to fix it.
Begin in a friendly way: When calling customer service to report a problem, start
the conversation with a friendly greeting and introduce yourself.
Get the other person saying "yes, yes" immediately: When trying to convince your
friend to try a new restaurant, start by asking if they like trying new foods or if
they're in the mood for something different.
Let the other person do a great deal of the talking: When interviewing a potential
employee, ask open-ended questions and let them share their experience and
qualifications.
Let the other person feel that the idea is theirs: When planning a project with
your team, ask for their input and suggestions and incorporate their ideas into the
final plan.
Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view: When negotiating
a deal with a client, consider their needs and concerns and try to find a solution
that works for both parties.
Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires: When your partner
expresses a desire to try a new hobby, show interest and support their decision.
Appeal to the nobler motives: When encouraging your child to volunteer or donate to
a charity, appeal to their sense of empathy and compassion for others.
Dramatize your ideas: When presenting a new product to your team, use
