Dale Carnegie’s 7 Powerful Rules For Better Relationships

Dale Carnegie is known for his practical, no-nonsense approach to advice.

Interestingly, a section on 7 rules for making your home life happier was included in the original 1936 edition of How to Win Friends and Influence People but omitted from the revised 1981 edition. I’ve reproduced it here.

Seven Rules For Making Your Home Life Happier

1. Don’t nag.
2. Don’t try to make your partner over.
3. Don’t criticize.
4. Give honest appreciation.
5. Pay little attentions.
6. Be courteous.
7. Read a good book on the sexual side of marriage.

If you found the list useful, read the quick summary of the book.
