Let others talk about themselves from "summary" of How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
To build relationships and make friends, it is important to make a good impression on the people around us. One way to do this is by allowing others to talk about themselves and showing genuine interest in their stories. This helps to demonstrate that you value the other person's opinion and can create a strong bond.- Listening encourages others to express themselves and builds trust that may help you form relationships with difficult people. Recognise that everyone has unique life experiences and allow the individual to share these stories takes a backseat.
- Talking less and genuinely being curious about those we interact with allows us to gain broader perspectives and create authentic connections. Give the floor to the person and be a receptive listener.
