(2022_01) How to Stop Worrying and Start Living - Dale Carnegie

 

The first book I read in year 2022!

I think this book is also very practical as well as the previous Carnegie's book I read, How to Win Friends and Influence People. It was written about 70 years ago but the principles in this book are still useful today. When I was late 20s I had a lot of worries so read many books to overcome them. And it's not surprising that what authors claims were very similar to Carnegie's as this book is a kind of classic book in this field.

Among many suggestions followings are key steps dealing with worries:

  1. Get your facts straight by writing down what you know and what you’re worried about.

  2. Analyze those facts to figure out your options.

  3. Make a decision and stick to it.

Sounds easy? Yes, but carrying out these steps is not that easy. From my opinion the very first step is to internalize this principle.
