I really like self help books. I am on the quest for constant improvement and I have found self help books to be a great way to further this effort. Most recently I read How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie and absolutely loved it! Often, it is easy to get caught up with issues that either aren’t really that big of a deal or that can’t be changed. This book has helped me to put things in perspective so I thought I would share my biggest takeaways.
‘The north wind made the Vikings.’ Think about that for a moment: ‘The north wind made the Vikings.’ By facing challenges we are forced to either give up or overcome. There is no use spending time and energy worrying about the problems we have, there is only value in working to overcome them. Instead of complaining and getting frustrated, let us instead work to the best of our ability to combat our issues or at least improve our situation.
This is a small selection of all that the book has to offer. I highly recommend you take a look at it!
Do you often find yourself worrying? How have you addressed it?
