How to Stop Worrying and Start Living: Time-Tested Methods for Conquering Worry by Dale CarnegieMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
If I read this book in my early 20-ies, I am sure, I would have been more impressed. The recipes inside are quite simple, but there are no specific techniques described on how to e.g. accept the worst. This book doesn't work for everybody.
Some of chapters are contradictory - in one Carnegie advises to criticize yourself and in next one not to pay attention to the critics coming form other people, but says, that such critic can be useful. So is it useful or not?
One of chapters (about god and praying) I totally skipped as it was full of anti-scientific bullshit. Furthermore, the a lot of things in this book are not true anymore, as behavioral science and psychology went further now, than during times of Carnegie.
This book could have been good, when it was issued, but now anymore.
