Common sense plus storytelling plus true stories plus Jesus. Do you still wonder why this is still a perennial seller? I got bored before reaching 50 percent 😒
Rating: 3This book was first published in 1953 and was the kind of book that my late father had on his bookshelf. I noticed them and though they looked interesting, but was too young to realize that I would one day be reading them too!The book has timeless validity. We will presumably always need to know how to conquer worry and live our life.It is dated since the famous people it mentions are ones we no longer remember or perhaps never knew.As well as noted people of years past, the author recounts the stories of persons of his acquaintance, stories that illustrate his claims.The first rule we’re given by which to combat worry is to live in “day—tight compartments”, i.e. stop worrying about the past and speculating about the future but just deal calmly with what we need to do today! I had already begun to do this, or rather I had begun to only start thinking about how to cope with a certain problem the day before, or whenever necessary, and not before.Rule 2 is, ask yourself “What is the worst that can possibly happen?” Prepare to accept it if you have to, and proceed to improve on the worst.Rule 2 is to remind yourself of the exorbitant price you can pay for worry in terms of your health. Those who don’t know how to fight worry die young.The author suggest a method by which to banish 99% of your worries. Write down precisely what you’re worrying about. Write down what you can do about it. Decide what to do. Start immediately to carry out your decision.Further advice is, keep busy. Don’t fuss about trifles and ask yourself “What are the odds against this thing’s happening at all?The author also gives us a programme called “Just for today”. 1. “Just for today I will be happy.” 2. “Just for today I will try to adjust myself to what is.” Etc, etc.He has a chapter about the high cost of getting even with our enemies. If we try to do so, we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them.We should not expect gratitude but give for the joy of giving. Jesus healed ten lepers in one day, and only one thanked him. Why should we expect more gratitude than Jesus got? If we want our children to be grateful, we must train them to be so.Count your blessings, not your troubles.We should not imitate others, but find ourselves and be ourselves.One chapter is entitled “How to cure depression in fourteen days”. If you forget yourself in service to others you will find the joy of loving.The best parts of the book are the many stories illustrating how many found success by doing what the author suggests.The book concludes with 31 true stories of people who conquered worry.To sum up, though the book is old and dated, it provides invaluable advice to those who worry excessively, that is, many of us.If worrying is your problem, read this book.
Rating: 5How well this has aged.
Rating: 5In 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.
Rating: 4One 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.
Rating: 5A classic, the tips still work. While I may not be able to stop worrying altogether, it could be a compulsion forever, Carnegie's stories and teachings are valuable.
Rating: 5The 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.
Rating: 4Still good advice.
Rating: 4this book really made my eyes opened, that actually we could become who ever we want to become. God bless you, mr. Carnegie.
Rating: 4I can attest to the value of each of Dale Carnegie's books, although I initially approached them with as much cynicism is possible. Long ago, the bank I was working for sent me, a shy stuttering new manager, to take the Dale Carnegie course. I soon learned what it taught me was plain commonsense. For instance, if you're worried about something, think about the worst possible thing that might happen, learn to accept it, and think about how you would deal with the consequences. Once you have done that, you can stop worrying about it. And you should never worry about things that probably won't happen at all. What a waste of time that is! I often recommend this book to friends I see who are down in the dumps and overcome by worries. It is a masterpiece.
Rating: 5A bit dated, but still an outstanding classic in the field of self-help and motivation.
Rating: 5Very good - b-rated to the rest of his works
Rating: 3I wanted to learn from this book, but for some reason that I can't pinpoint, after starting it, I found myself passing over it time and time again when I would pick up one of the several books that I usually have going at any given time.

Ein wunderbares Buch! Das Erste in dem ich mir mit Textmarker Textpassagen herausgehoben habe. Nach dem markern stellte ich fest das ich auch gleich das ganze Buch hätte anmalen können! Alles ist so einfach erklärt und so logisch nachzuvollziehen das man des öfteren schmunzeln muss wenn einem klar wird mit wie vielen Irrglauben man gelebt hat. Ich habe es schon öfter verschenkt und jedesmal bekam ich das Daumen hoch Feedback. Ich kann es nur empfehlen!!!
