《人性的优点》是美国著名成人教育家、心理学家和人际关系学家戴尔·卡耐基的代表作之一，也是20世纪最有影响的励志经典。该书是《人性的弱点》的姊妹篇，是一本关于如何征服忧虑、创造幸福美好人生的书。作者通过许多现实的案例告诉人们应该如何走出人生的误区；如何充分了解自己、相信自己，养成良好的习惯，保持充沛的精力；如何充分开发蕴藏在身心里而尚未利用的财富，发挥人性的优点。
该书自1948年首次出版以来，一直畅销至今，被誉为“克服忧虑获得成功的必读书”、“世界励志圣经”。无论作为语言学习的课本，还是作为通俗的励志读本，本书对当代中国的读者，特别是青少年都将产生积极的影响。为了使读者能够了解图书内容概况，进而提高阅读速度和阅读水平，在每章的开始部分增加了中文导读。

Cabot， formerly professor of clinical medicine atHarvard. In his book What Men Live By， Dr. Cabot says： "As a physician， Ihave had the happiness of seeing work cure many persons who have sufferedfrom trembling palsy of the soul which results from overmastering doubts，hesitations， vacillation and fear....Courage given us by our work is like the self-reliance which Emerson has made for ever glorious."If you and I don't keep busy-if we sit around and brood-we will hatch out a whole flock of what Charles Darwin used to call the "wibber gibbers". And the "wibber gibbers" are nothing but old-fashioned gremlins that will runus hollow and destroy our power of action and our power of will. I know a businessman in New York who fought the "wibber gibbers" by getting so busy that he had no time to fret and stew. His name is Tremper Longman， and his office is at 40 Wall Street. He was a student in one of my adult-education classes; and his talk on conquering worry was so interesting， so impressive， that I asked him to have supper with me afier class; and we sat in a restaurant until long past midnight， discussing his experiences. Here is the story he told me： "Eighteen years ago， I was so worried I had insomnia. I was tense， irritated， and jittery. I felt I was headed for a nervous breakdown. "I had reason to be worried. I was treasurer of the Crown Fruit and Extract Company， 418 West Broadway， New York. We had half a million dollars invested in strawberries packed in gallon tins. For twenty years， we had been selling these gallon tins of strawberries to manufactures ofice cream."Suddenly our sales stopped because the big ice-cream makers， such asNational Dairy and Borden's， were rapidly increasing their production and were saving money and time by buying strawberries packed in barrels. ……
