5:22. I misspoke.

But it’s arguable that we are not seeing the same game-changing classics in poetic works like The Iliad and The Odyssey.”<\/p>\n

\nDale Carnegie, 1910s-1950s: Writing about what works and gaining converts to his formula. Authoring books as a living is often a game of self-promotion, beating out the competition.
