So, I’m really grooving on this book Everyday Speech: How to say what you mean by Bess Sondel. She has an amazing grasp on human interaction. What most amazes me about it: the first edition was published in 1950. All the experts that have come since then are, in many cases, just rehashing ideas found in her book.

In the past couple of weeks, I’ve read three great books[1] from the first half of the twentieth century, and now I’m really wondering what other gems are out there.

Those great books were:

1. Everyday Speech: How to say what you mean by Bess Sondel
2. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
3. How to Live on Twenty-Four Hours a Day by Arnold Bennett
