It was written in the 1930s, and has been continuously in print since then. How many books have achieved that honor? That's because it's one of the best books you will ever read. Absorbing its lessons will make you a better person.
I swear I've had this book recommended to me at least a thousand times, I'm almost suspicious though I don't know that suspicious is the right word
