????新一期《財富》雜志（Fortune）的封面人物是激勵大師托尼?羅賓斯，多年來，他的兩本超級暢銷書《激發心靈的潛力》（Unlimited Power，1986）和《喚醒內心的巨人》（Awaken the Giant Within，1991），激勵了無數奮斗者。最近，這位自我提高領域的大師（他已經六十七歲），推出了他在近20年來出版的首部重要作品《金錢：掌控游戲》（Money: Master the Game）【西蒙與舒斯特出版公司（Simon & Schuster），11月18日】。現在讓我們回顧一下史上最暢銷的自我發展類圖書：

????Master motivator Tony Robbins, profiled in a new Fortune cover story, has reached countless strivers over the years with his blockbuster bestsellers Unlimited Power (1986) and Awaken the Giant Within (1991). Now the giant of the self-improvement genre—literally, he’s six-seven—is rousing people to conquer their finances with his first major book in two decades: Money: Master the Game (Simon & Schuster, Nov. 18). Here’s a brief history of personal development literature’s greatest hits.

????《人性的弱點:如何贏得朋友并影響他人》（How to Win Friends and Influence People），作者戴爾?卡耐基（1936年）

????這是卡耐基經典的自我幫助類著作，股神沃倫?巴菲特和殺人魔王查爾斯?曼森都是本書的信徒。書中包含一系列取得成功的秘訣，自首次出版以來已賣出超過1,500萬本。這本人際關系手冊的出版得益于一名速記員的幫助（根據一位聽過卡耐基演講的西蒙與舒斯特出版公司高管的建議），內容取自卡耐基頗受歡迎的演講課程內容。卡耐基有一句名言：“你不可能贏得爭論。因為如果你輸了，你當然也就輸了；如果你贏了，可你還是輸了。”

????How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie (1936)

????Carnegie’s classic self-help book counts people as diverse as oracular investor Warren Buffet and murder-mastermind Charles Manson among its acolytes. The book, which comprises a recipe for getting ahead, has sold more than 15 million copies since it was first published. Transcribed with help from a stenographer (at the suggestion of a Simon & Schuster exec who heard Carnegie speak), this likeability manual spawned from a popular lecture course taught by Carnegie. Here’s a nugget of Carnegie’s counsel: “You can't win an argument. You can't because if you lose it, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it.”
