They range from Benjamin Franklin in the 18th century to Horatio Alger in the 19th century to Donald Trump in our own time.  But the most influential modern success writer has been Dale Carnegie, whose great book, <cite>How to Win Friends and Influence People (1936)<\/cite> remains even now one of the best sellers in American history. Carnegie revamped earlier traditions, which had stressed the importance of hard work, character formation, and prudential habits.  The new urban, consumer, bureaucratic society of 20th-century America, he argued, demanded new qualities to propel the individual upward to greater social status and wealth.  Carnegie advocated the cultivation of a winning personality and skilled human relations.  \u201cMake the other person feel important,\u201d \u201cestablish a positive atmosphere,\u201d and \u201cmake people like you,\u201d he wrote.  This advice became the foundation for a modern creed of success and a host of modern self-help gurus\u2014from Norman Vincent Peale to Oprah Winfrey\u2014have followed the path first blazed by Dale Carnegie.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"lectureSpeaker\" style=\"padding-top: 1em;\">Speaker: Steven Watts<\/h2>\n<div class=\"speakerInfo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/8_Watts-Steve-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail alignleft\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" style=\"\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/8_Watts-Steve-150x150.jpg 150w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/8_Watts-Steve-50x50.jpg 50w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/11\/8_Watts-Steve-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n<p>Steven Watts is Professor of History at the University of Missouri, where he has won several prizes, including the Kemper Teaching Award, the Faculty-Alumni Award, and the system-wide Thomas Jefferson Award for research, teaching, and creativity.
