In our over-stressed nation, there are constantly new books and gadgets hitting the shelves that promise to distress our lives. But trying to decide which theory or gimmick might work for you can be stress in and of itself!

First published in 1944 and with 105 Amazon reviews with an average rating of 5 stars out of 5, Dale Carnegie’s “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living” has stood the test of time.

Says Carnegie at the beginning of his 8 part book on the foolishness of worrying, “those who don’t know how to fight worry, die young.”

First published more than a half century ago, the book is definitely dated, but that is part of its allure. Carnegie’s de-stress methodologies come from the point of view of the early 20^th century, before email, Blackberries, the internet and many of the current causes of stress in our lives.

Many of the principals may seem obvious – but why then are we so streseed? Carnegie has a way of making us take a good look at our actions and ask ourselves why we continue to act in a way that is not beneficial to our own happiness.

At a price of $7.99 from Any Book.com, its well worth the weekend read!
