P Moe Nin (Burmese: ပီမိုးနင်း; 5 November 1883 – 6 January 1940) was one of Burma's most prolific and treasured writers.
After three years of study, he was sent to College General, Penang, Malaysia, where he learnt public speaking, philosophy and logic which became his favorite subjects.
Despite his prolific output and his long list of his self-help books, P Moe Nin never prospered financially.
Poor his entire life, he was driven primarily by his desire to educate the Burmese audience, in both the Western classics and local knowledge.
But his stepfather's library and teaching encouraged him to produce an impressive output of Burmese literary works.
He and his sister run away to RCM Roman Catholic Missionary School and head master Father Palwa adopted them.
In 1939, P Moe Nin's career was cut short when he crashed his bicycle on the way home from local festivities.
He wrote books and essays on assorted subjects ranging from health, psychology, education, religion and agriculture to biographies and political treatises.
[citation needed] He introduced Burmese readers to the American bestseller How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.
In 1920, the Cinema de Paris showed the country's first silent film, Myitta Nit Thuya.
