How to Stop Worrying and Start Living: Time-Tested Methods for Conquering Worry

This is such a unique book in several ways. First Dale Carnegie presents stories; second, he gives facts and statistics to prove his points, and third, he gives us practical action steps to implement. I was going to give this book away to a friend, but ended up ordering another one because I wanted to keep it so I could reference all the practical steps.

This book, in the inner cover it has a copyright of '1944'. As of today this book is 71 Years old. That's crazy...None the less, 90 pages in, I have underlined quite a bit of the book as I make my way through it. I am using "How to stop worrying and start living" as a work book like the author suggested.Most of the advice, is golden if you don't get too caught up in the context. And it seems that some particular advice is re-iterated in another way, to add emphasis. Then on top of this, the author interviewed a ton of people.. and from today's point of view, some of the individuals that the author talked to.. are markers in history. They all did something profound.If your like myself, curious, and trying to improve your lot in life.. especially in today's climate. Everywhere you turn there is a fear monger.. from our own government to, the local associated press. They are trying to sell you "fear" by the truck loads.. Nothing wrong with being informed of the dangers that exist, but it's also very good to have the context of the situation, some hard numbers to go by. Other wise your imagination just runs off with you. And quite frankly I think that's the whole point.What's that famous quote by Rahm Emanuel."You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."Source: http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/r/rahm_emanuel.htmlQuote basically is getting at the fact, that you don't think at all when your worrying.. your more likely to take action in the heat of the moment and do something stupid, or do something stupid and help someone else out..Anyways, the book offers a lot of sound basic advice. So if your like me and you didn't get a well grounded common sense type of upbringing, no guidance really at all.. because your parents didn't know any better.. and public school is definitely the kind of place you don't get a well grounded common sense education.. this book is worth checking out. Because the truly smart person knows, that there is always something around the next corner, as far as little nuggets of wisdom go. Always something worth learning. Always ways to improve your odds.I'll leave this review with one of my favorite quotes from the book:'I keep six honest serving-men(They taught me all I knew);Their names are What and Why and WhenAnd How and Where and Who.' -Rudyard kiplingIf you find yourself overwhelmed by worry..your mind tends to drift toward the negatives too much. Check this out. Definitely worth the money.

I’ve read a lot of self help books and I’m very picky about them. This one was one of my favorites. I learned a lot from this book and truly feel like my life has changed for the better since reading it.

I recommend this book to anyone who has a problem dealing with stress and need to take a step back and come back to reality. This book has helped me really crack down on stressful situations and deal with them calm and at ease. this book is a very relaxing read, going through common experiences and how they have led him to find these affirmations. If you have a problem with stressful situations like i did this book is for you!!

This is not a typical cover to cover book! This book should be read in the same manner as The Bible or Quran. Since, it is a guidebook, where the author gives advice how to conquer worry! The main points, that I got from the book, at least in my opinion are these:1) Make the best situation out of any situation, even if it is the worst case.2) Accept the events that already happened, and do not delve on them.3) Accept the worst case scenario in every situation, even if it will not happen, accept it.4) Deal with the problems on the importance order.Definitely, it is a good read! Of course, some chapters were dull, and had to be re-read to get the point cross. Still, if anyone needs to start living without worries, I would recommend to read this book.The book, that I have purchased, was a used paperback edition from middle 2000s. It was in good condition, not torn or wrinkled.
