How to Win Friends and Influence People Have you ever wondered how people work? Why do people do what they do? Why is it that you think the way you think, behave the way you do ... what is it that makes you feel a certain way? These are some of the basic questions answered in this class. How to Win Friends and Influence People [HWFIP] is a class about neuroscience and psychology applied to business, management, leadership, friends, and everyday life. It's named after the best selling book of 70 years by Dale Carnegie of the same name. We will touch upon not only pragmatic tips for attraction, persuasion, leadership, and charisma, we will explore the science behind them and the science behind human behavior and emotions in general. We will examine how attraction works, what experiences contribute to your personality, and what happens when those mechanisms go wrong and result in mental disorders. This class is intended to be useful and, thus interactive, each iteration of this course has run differently because the students bring their lives into it to be analyzed or understood. The more you are willing to contribute yourself, your friends, and your life, the more you will learn and the more this class can help you.

You will be able to intelligently plan ahead for what you will say or do if you want to comfort a friend in a crisis, salvage a relationship, inspire your coworkers, or lead a team to victory.
