Synopsis
Great American motivator and early pioneer in the self-help movement Dale Carnegie offers calming wisdom and practical advice for helping people deal with the affliction of worry, which gets in the way at work and in life. One of the interesting parts of the book is the last chapter comprised of brief anecdotes from great people of the time on how they dealt with worry--Connie Mack, J. C. Penney, Jack Dempsey, and Gene Autrey with an enlightening essay "I have Always Tried to Keep My line of Supplies Open." Originally published in 1948.
Publisher's Notes
First Line: "In 1909 I was one of the unhappiest lads in New York. I was selling motor trucks for a living. I didn't know what made a motor truck run. That wasn't all: I didn't want to know. I despised my job. I despised living in a cheap furnished room on West Fifty-sixth Street--a room infested with cockroaches. I still remember I had a bunch of neckties hanging on the walls; and when I reached out of a morning to get a fresh necktie, the roaches scattered in all directions. I despised having to eat in cheap, dirty restaurants that were also probably infested with cockroaches."
