In this book,it strats from Dale Carnegie's life.He was poor in his childhood,and he was always worrying about many things,but he gradually overcame worrying.Then he noticed many people worrying,and therefore he wrote how to get rid of worrying in this book.But the vocabulary level is very high,and I think it's difficult to read without the dictionary.But in this book,it is written how to get over worrying,and I think it's useful.

One of my favorites. I give this book a 5. Mr. Carnegie writes so well in a friendly advice manner. Carnegie always provides tremendous insight. This book is really tremendous for mindset. A must read and must have. ( )

The anecdotes are dated but the message is timeless. Technique for dealing with worry: What is the worst that can happen? Prepare yourself mentally to accept the worst. Calmly improve upon it. Dr. Alexis Carrel: Those who do not know how to fight worry die young. Dealing with worry: Get the facts. Analyze the facts. Arrive at a decision and act. Another approach: What is the problem? What is the cause? What are the possible solutions? What solution is best? Do whatever can be done and then leave it to what is out of your control. Keep busy. Don't fuss over trifles. Consider the odds. If it is so, it cannot be otherwise. Use stop-loss techniques. Life is what our thoughts make it. Never waste a minute thinking of people you don't like. Count your blessings, not you troubles. No one ever kicks a dead dog. Rest before you get tired. Learn to relax at work and at home. The wrong kind of fear is a sin.

I read this again in conjunction with the Carnegie Immersion course. The principles aren't quite as succinct as in How to Win Friends but the stories and message are worth rational consideration if worry is a problem. ( )
