How to Stop Worrying and Start Living Paperback – October 5, 2004 by Dale Carnegie (Gallery Books)

I became interested in Dale Carnegie's books after watching a documentary on Warren Buffet. Turns out Warren Buffet was terrible at communicating effectively, until he read Dale Carnegie's books. 10 years later he was a billionaire. I don't particularly need 1 billion dollars, nor do I think I'll ever have a billion dollars, but this book was useful none the less.

Dale Carnegie is great at telling short anecdotes of people he knows that relate precisely to what needs to be said. It reminds me of Malcolm Gladwells style of writing, and its effective at both conveying info and keeping you entertained.

You will come away from this book with a number of different techniques that genuinely help eliminate or reduce worry, stress, and anxiety. Better yet you'll be able to redirect your worry into useful endeavors. Basically, worry isn't something to be completely rid of, its simply needs to be intelligently directed.

I found this book particularly interesting because Dale Carnegie continuously tells stories of people, places, circumstances. The neat part is that it becomes a history lesson because the book was written in 1948. You really get a fascinating look at this time period. You will find titillating references to presidents and industrialists you haven't thought of in ages.

With Dale Carnegie's timeless advice in hand, more than six million people have learned how to eliminate debilitating fear and worry from their lives and to embrace a worry-free future. In this classic work, How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, Carnegie offers a set of practical formulas that you can put to work today. It is a book packed with lessons that will last a lifetime and make that lifetime happier!
