I bought both the kindle and the audiobook. It helps me bring some things into perspective about my own thought patterns and habits that might contribute to my issues with anxiety and at times depression… great supplemental tool.

Read It Like A Guidebook!

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2023

This is not a typical cover to cover book! This book should be read in the same manner as The Bible or Quran. Since, it is a guidebook, where the author gives advice how to conquer worry! The main points, that I got from the book, at least in my opinion are these:
1) Make the best situation out of any situation, even if it is the worst case.
2) Accept the events that already happened, and do not delve on them.
3) Accept the worst case scenario in every situation, even if it will not happen, accept it.
4) Deal with the problems on the importance order.

Definitely, it is a good read! Of course, some chapters were dull, and had to be re-read to get the point cross. Still, if anyone needs to start living without worries, I would recommend to read this book.
The book, that I have purchased, was a used paperback edition from middle 2000s. It was in good condition, not torn or wrinkled.

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.

People may pass this book by because it was originally written in the 1940s. Do not let that fool you. Anxiety, depression and worry have existed all through time and the pointers in this book remain relevant.

Many of the things discussed have been repackaged by modern society, but this book gives numerous ways to rewire your brain. There’s religious options, journaling options, meditation options, and things to say to yourself to snap your self out of rumination.

Since I started reading this book I found that I’m calmer and deal with things easier. I move on after big decisions (something I never did). I rarely notate books but this one is littered with highlights so I can go back and remind myself how to handle myself better.

If you struggle, please give this book a try.

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.

I have a mind that never seems to stop racing. I'm always overthinking and often worrying. Consequently, I've read many self-help books. I feel that this one best suited my needs. Although the stories Carnegie imparts are dated, they are universal and I found them to be entertaining. More importantly, they are time-tested and come by actual experiences from a variety of societal sources. Keep in mind that this book is effective only if you put into practice the wisdom offered and use it as a continual reminder to do so. It is NOT a book to be read once, but to be referred to again and again. Since reading it, I have recommended it to friends and family. The ones that accepted my recommendation were not sorry for doing so!
