Ask HN: How to win friends – 70 years later

Actually, it's 78 years old (2014-1936 = 78).

In any case, the book has been revised significantly. If you buy a new copy today, then you're not getting the 1936 text. Wikipedia[1] indicates that the most recent major update was in 1981.

> Have any other books on the topic been released that are highly popular?

That seems likely, although I doubt that any single book has had anything like the popularity of HtWFaIP (if only because HtWFaIP was published in a time when bookstore shelves were not overflowing with self-help books).

I'd be interested in an answer to this question, too.

On another note, get a copy! I read it and was surprised a book nearly 80 years old is still highly relevant. It was actually pleasing to read the way people "spoke in books" back then as to today's book.
