November Book Club: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

Some books remain relevant for generations because their wisdom is timeless.

This November, join us as we explore How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie's classic guide to building meaningful relationships, communicating with kindness, and inspiring the best in others.

For nearly a century, this influential book has helped millions of people improve their personal and professional relationships through simple yet powerful principles based on respect, empathy, and genuine interest in others.

Together we'll discuss topics such as:

Building authentic and lasting relationships
Becoming a better listener and communicator
Leading with kindness, respect, and encouragement
Resolving conflict with compassion and understanding
Inspiring others without criticism or manipulation
Living with greater confidence, influence, and integrity

As we read together, we'll explore how Carnegie's principles align with spiritual living and Unity's teachings on love, compassion, and seeing the divine in every person. We'll reflect on how our words, attitudes, and actions can strengthen our relationships and create more harmony in our families, workplaces, and communities.

Whether you've read this classic before or are discovering it for the first time, you'll find thoughtful conversation, practical insights, and a welcoming community where everyone is encouraged to share and grow.

Everyone is welcome! You do not need to be a Unity member to attend. Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and join us for an inspiring month of learning how genuine kindness and authentic connection can transform our lives and the lives of those around us.

We meet at Unity Spiritual Center of Woodstock, 225 W. Calhoun St., Woodstock, IL, on the 3rd Friday of each month from 6:30–8:30 PM. Visit unitywoodstock.org to RSVP and see the selected book for the month.
