classic business titles

With all the business books that come and go, you would think older titles would be forgotten quickly, but actually some of our most popular titles are classics.  Most of them write on interpersonal and self-development issues rather than specific financial advice, so they don't become outdated. 

"Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain - and most fools do." *

Dale Carnegie (author of How to Win Friends and Influence People) is known for common sense advice on how to improve business skills like communication.

"First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination."*

Napoleon Hill (author of Think & Grow Rich) recently became popular again with the success of books like The Secret.  He offers a methodical approach to applying the law of attraction to your life in order to attract wealth and success.


"You can not entertain weak, harmful, negative thoughts ten hours a day and expect to bring about beautiful, strong and harmonious conditions by ten minutes of strong, positive, creative thought."  **

Charles F. Haanel (author of The Master Key System) is another author who gained new attention due to The Secret.  His works focuses on training your mind through a series of exercises.
