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."
Industry Reviews
Is the message of this enduring 1948 best seller relevant for today's readers? Indeed, Carnegie's sound, pragmatic advice about how to identify and solve problems rather than fretting about them resonates strongly in the stressed-out world of 1999. Acknowledging that the ideas he presents aren't original, Carnegie offers a synthesis of practical wisdom from diverse sources. The direct, almost old-fashioned tone of comments such as "Don't fuss about trifles" provides a refreshing, common-sense break for readers turned off by the dreamy, vague quality of much contemporary writing on stress reduction. Using practical examples, Carnegie offers strategies for tackling problems, achieving the best possible outcome, and learning to live with the results, even if they aren't ideal. Andrew Macmillan narrates in a wise, cordial tone perfectly suited to the content. Recommended for libraries that don't own the 1990 boxed set that includes the print version.
