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.html Quote 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 When And How and Where and Who.' -Rudyard kipling If you find yourself overwhelmed by worry..your mind tends to drift toward the negatives too much. Check this out. Definitely worth the money.

Excellent book. It has a lot of things that might seem silly and like they should be common sense but its written in a way that reminds you and cements it into your brain. The chapters should be read at a slow pace and you should try to apply the things you learn from it on a daily basis inbetween chapters. This book has helped me a lot with my anxiety. I think it could also be very helpful for people who suffer from depression. In the chapters and idea is put out there, like "take things one step at a time" then the idea is broadened, explained and you get a few examples of how different people (ordinary and or famous) applied it in their lives and then the idea is repeated again at the end. Like I said, it makes it easy to remeber and kind of cements it into your head. The title sounds awful in my opinion but at the same time it fits because that is exactly what the book does teaches you how to stop worrying and start living. I think when i first saw it I felt it was a how to for people who have no idea how to manage their anxiety and so i was hesitant at first because I felt i wasnt in such dire need I mean I have ideas on how to manage myself and my anxieties but thats not what this book is like at all (although it is written in a way that a person who has no idea how to handle these issues can read it and understand, it really breaks things down) it serves to refresh your memory and shows you these tactics youve been using at times subconsiously in a new light, makes you aware of them and how to make sure you apply them more often. I love this book I think every person should read it at least once in their life.

I am 16 years old and my parents bought me this book hoping it would be of use to me. "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" is a book I would recommend to anyone, not just people who tend to worry a lot. I mostly have all good things to say with the exception of one. After completing the first half of the book, the second half sounds similar to the first. I got everything out of it that I wanted to and felt as if the rest was just extra things that did not mean much to me. Overall, the book teaches a new way of looking at things. Along with an abundant amount of ways to make your life less filled with worry, Dale Carnegie shows you how to get the most out of living. He pointed out so many simple things, like how doing things you enjoy and things that keep you busy can turn a person's life around. You get to read other peoples experiences, some relating to me, and some not, that I found helpful. The way the book is written is like a friendly conversation, not someone telling you what to do to stop worrying, even though that is the overall goal. At the end of every section, it gives you an "in a nutshell" summary of what was talked about. I have actually made a list of all the points touched on of things I can do each day to bring less worry and stress to my life. I hung this list on the back of my door to see each morning. I found this book helpful and it really changed my outlook on things.

This book is easy to read. I don't care for religious ideas but was able to ignore it enough to just get the important details out of it. Of course the examples are dated due to the time the book was written, but applying the tactics to present day is effective and I bought this book for a few family members who were known to worry and have anxiety.

This an outstanding well-written book. It truly is an excellent classic book and one of the best books I have ever read with lots of practical wisdom in it. When the author of the book was alive, he often wrote like he was talking to you personally. There's lots of practical advice in this book. The author of the book pointed out that we should not allow ourselves to be too upset about small petty things because life is too short to be so little. He mentioned that we should concentrate more on what's right in our lives than what is wrong. We should count our blessings. If somebody hasn't read this book yet, I would strongly recommend that they please read this book. This book has been around for a lot of years and has sold well over the years because of its inspirational excellent advice. Dale Carnegie’s book mentions a lot of valid points. He says that is a well-known fact that emotional attitude usually has far more to do with producing fatigue than physical exertion. He said that after he took a vacation up in the Canadian Rockies around Lake Louse trout fishing, he was not exhausted because he was excited. He mentioned about young men taking long hikes and climbing peaks in the Canadian Rockies. The older men guides were not exhausted because they were interested while the younger men who had just completed the Commando training were exhausted. He has a chapter on our life is what our thoughts make it. He said that Napoleon had a lot of things that men crave for and yet he said he never known six happy days in his life while Helen Keller who was blind and deaf said that she found life so beautiful. He mentions about a father giving a letter to a son who went about 1500 miles away and the son didn’t feel different as he predicted. The father told his son as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. When the son realized that, he was cured. Dale gave his readers useful advice when he wrote the Don’t Let The Beetles Get You Down chapter indicating that we shouldn’t get too upset by small things because life is so short.

I'm not sure what influenced me to buy this book but I sure am glad I did. The author, Dale Carnegie, has been dead for over 50 years but the principles in this book are timeless. You dont have to sit and read the book from cover to cover either. To be blatently honest, its a great bathroom reader. Each chapter is independent enough so that you do not have to really read them in any order. Or if someone just happened to pick it up, they could read the first chapter and walk away with something and not have to read the rest. The principles that he covers in this book are ones that we knew were right in our minds already. The problem is, we dont incorporate them into our lives even though we know better. What this book really does is enables you to trust yourself on what you already know. I know this sounds odd, but no matter how well you know yourself and trust your own judgement, the things said in the book will still help you. Plus there are plenty of examples of how people have incorporated the doctrines into their lives and it made all the difference in the world to them. Final Note: The way things have been going for myself and pretty much every one that I know in life, times have gotten fairly tough. Everybody hates their job or doesnt have enough money to make ends meet. Its really easy to find yourself in a gloomy state of being. Anyone that comes to me and says their having problems dealing with this or that, i recommend they pick this book up. So far nobody has complained that it didnt help them.

One of my biggest problems with this book is that I didn't really need it in the first place. I don't worry very much, at least not in the sense that this book addresses. This book is for people who are paralyzed by fear, either due to a destructive mental attitude or some unintended external factors. Since I am generally confident in myself, am mostly concerned with school or other work that I am intrinsically motivated to handle, and have thankfully never had to deal with anything I would call a real tragedy or highly traumatic experience, I don't find myself in the desperate situations that plague the many subjects of "How to Stop Worrying". Similarly, most of the advice on "How to break the Worry Habit Before it Breaks You" (Part 3 of the book) is not particularly useful for me. That being said, for people who do need to stop worrying (as I wish my parents would), Carnegie's advice is mostly sound. True, it's nothing we all haven't heard before (e.g. "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade"; "count your blessings"; etc.), but it's nevertheless worth internalizing and practicing in our daily lives. Some of Carnegie's tips are more practical. When you're faced with a tough decision, he suggests writing out your problem and logically evaluating your options for how to proceed. Carnegie also recommends putting a "stop-loss order on your worries," exercising to alleviate stress, and not expecting gratitude from people, all solid methods to reduce worry and frustration. I found the section on "Six Ways to Prevent Worry and Fatigue and Keep Your Energy and Spirits High" (Part 7) especially useful. Many of Carnegie's suggestions, however, are too abstract and idealized to be useful to highly rational, analytical-type people. (It's worth noting that scientists and engineers seemed to make up a very small percentage of Carnegie's examples; he mostly focused on businessmen and housewives.) For example, Chapter 16, "Find Yourself and Be Yourself" warns against emulating role models, but this is an essential part of the path to success for many great people. Chapter 18 outright claims that one can "cure depression in fourteen days" by simply doing good deeds for other people, which is ridiculous to anyone with even a partial understanding of the complex disease that is depression. But undoubtedly the worst offense is the unrelenting promotion of Christianity (despite some failed attempts to seem liberal and open to all faiths). I was able to ignore these references, chalking them up to the book's age, until I got to Part 5, "The Perfect Way to Conquer Worry". The entire section is literally a sermon proclaiming that the ultimate solution to all of life's misery is to resign all our worries to God and trust His judgement on how things should turn out. What if God is too busy to heal your dying child? What if you're forced to turn to a medical doctor? Or worse, what if you yourself have to take responsibility for your own life? Carnegie even recommends going to church on weekday afternoons to pray, as if the rest of us have nothing better to do. He goes as far as asserting that even people who don't follow the Christian faith are Christians simply by virtue of being decent people. This is both infuriating and absurd. All Christians are supposed to be good people, but not all good people are Christians. After forcing myself to read through the whole section, I quickly lost my patience with the constant Jesus references. If you're already devoutly Christian, Jewish, or Muslim, or are looking to be converted, none of this will be a problem for you. If you fancy yourself the more open-minded, self-reliant type, you've been warned. In the final analysis, this book deserves at least an "okay" rating for offering some sound advice and helping millions of people in the many, many decades since it was written. As much as Carnegie's religious vitriol angered me, I will have to keep some of his more practical suggestions in mind. If nothing else, the book is a quick and easy read, even when rereading and marking up each chapter. If you find yourself worrying frequently or severely, this book is absolutely for you. If you consider yourself more legitimately concerned than irrationally worried, I would recommend turning instead to books on productivity.
