Small opening note:
This post is dedicated to very narrow group of Project.hope community members and if you're not cc (at the bottom) then you can skip this publication as you won't find anything interesting for yourself here.
INTRODUCTION
Few weeks ago I've came up with small idea. I wanted our group to get more knowledge and learn something new and I've tried to figure out best ways of achieving it. Naturally I cannot send all of you for training or course online. It would require more funds/resources than I can actually afford to spent.
Instead, I decided to allocate >10 usd (50 steem) and send it to each one of you and I suggested, that you would use those funds to cover your daily needs and allocate some time to go through one particular book: "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.
My goal is to help all of you educate yourself little bit more, learn how to deal with people and conflict situations. I strongly believe that this knowledge will help you greatly during your journey on Steemit and Hive.
I would like to make it clear, that I do not expect that anyone would read it from the start till every end. Just "scan" through it (over 300 pages) and find some parts which you will find valuable.
YOU CAN'T WIN AN ARGUMENT
I especially would like each one of you to read chapter called "You can't win an argument'. We've all witnessed our community being attacked several times by different hostile users. Especially on HIVE blockchain. And I found it crutial to know how to behave whenever we face similar challenges online. When others are provoking us and pushing towards confrontation.
WRITE YOUR OWN PUBLICATION about this book
I would appreciate if everyone involved in this initiative would write his own article (either posted within PH community, or outside - it's up to you) describing your impression after reading this book. I hope to learn which chapters do you personally consider valuable and what were your thoughts once you finish it.
Just over week ago @janettyanez wrote her own publication on this particular topic on Steemit as well as HIVE platform.
I figured that I may share it with you - perhaps some of you will find it worth checking out.
Important:
Please remember to set up 50% beneficiary to ph-fund if you post your own article on that subject. All rewards will be used to cover cost of new PC which has been purchased by @lanzjoseg (our community core member).
DO NOT RESTEEM
Please do not resteem this publication.
Yours, Piotr

I think it is an excellent initiative that will educate many of us on how to face a hostile situation and benefit from it all, I already have the book in pdf, I hope to share my analysis of the book very soon in the PH community. Greetings
Im glad you like this initiative @carlos84 :)
Hello @coach.piotr
This is an initiative that nobody in any community could do, not because they do not have resources, precisely, trying to educate their participants only leads to intellectual enrichment of the majority. And to a sustained growth of the person, and of the community. Thank you for the opportunity.
Hi @josevas217
Thanks for those encouraging words Jose.
I surely see our community as a "resource" and this initiative is meant to bring more value into this "resource" :) I wish more community leaders would focus on building their communities, instead of using them to build their own popularity.
Well ...
I remember the lesson that says you can't win an argument. And I should say that it is one of the best lessons gotten from that fine book. Thanks for this fantastic initiative and for the emoluments. Cheers!
I'm glad you enjoyed this book @gandhibaba :)
It's my pleasure
Winning friends doesn't seem to be a great title, it makes it seem like they were paid to be so.

I really enjoyed reading this book from start to finish, I took the time to highlight the most important and useful aspects to go over them as many times as necessary, and I have put some of them into practice.
Thank you very much @crypto.piotr for this excellent suggestion you made, particularly I have found the analysis and learning obtained from this book very productive and satisfactory.
Thank you very much for this initiative.
