كتاب جيد يتناول طرق التغلب على القلق من كل الجوانب ويميزه أنه ليس مبالغًا فيه كعادة كتب التنمية البشرية وينصح الكتاب بالتالي

ذكّر نفسك بالثمن الفادح الذي يتقاضاه القلق من صحتك، فقد اتضح أن القلق يتسبب في العديد من الأمراض مثل قرحة المعدة واضطربات القلب والروماتيزم وغيرها

اشغل نفسك دائمًا لدرجة ألا يتبقى لك وقتًا للقلق
----------------
لا تهتم بالتوافه ولا تدع صغائر المشاكل تهدم سعادتك
----------------
إرض بما ليس منه بد
----------------
استعن على طرد القلق بالإحصائيات والحقائق الثابتة وحينها أسأل نفسك: هل هناك ما يبرر مخاوفي؟، ما مدى احتمال حدوث ما أخشاه؟، ألا يحتمل ألا يحدث هذا الشيء الذي أقلق من أجله إطلاقًا؟
----------------
اجعل للقلق حدًا أقصى فقدِر قيمة الشيء ولا تعطه من القلق أكثر مما يستحق
----------------
لا تبكي على اللبن المسكوب واستفيد من أخطائك

حياتك من صنع أفكارك فتبنى الأفكار الايجابية

لاتفكر في محاولة القصاص من أعدائك، فإنك بمحاولتك هذه تؤذي نفسك أكثر مما تؤذي أعداءك

لا تنتظر الشكر من أحد

أحص نعم الله عليك بدلًا من أن تحصي متاعبك

أعرف نفسك وكن على سجيتك ولا تحاول التشبه بأحد
----------------
حوّل التجارب المؤلمة إلى مغامرات مثيرة
----------------
انسى نفسك وصب اهتمامك على الآخرين واصنع في كل يوم عملًا طيبًا يرسم الابتسامة على وجه إنسان
----------------
تمسك بالإيمان
----------------
ابحث عن شخص موثوق وأفضي له بمشاكلك
----------------
أكثِر من فترات الراحة والاسترخاء
----------------
وكل هذه النصائج مدعمة بالأمثلة والتجارب الواقعية التي تثبت جدواها، كما تحدث الكتاب عن كيفية التخلص من القلق الناتج من الأرق والنقد والسأم والمتاعب المالية والمشاكل الزوجية والحيرة في اختيار الوظيفة المناسبة

I didn't have the slightest intention of reading this book.
Actually I didn't read it, I listened to it.

These are the premises of changing my mind:

* Having to drive two hours every day, I'd rather spend this time constructively.
* So I listen to audiobooks, but only non fiction.
* I have a library card which I attached to the Libby app, and the offer is amazing.
* Dealing with a lot of worrying and paranoia, things that have very small chances of happening, when I saw this title, I told myself that it couldn't hurt at least to try it.

And work it did.

Each chapter has at the end a short and concise list of things to do when one worries, a summary of what was the subject. And this is why I intend to buy the book so that I can underline every thing that applies to my ideas, principles, and way of living.

What I like about this book is that the author is not imposing his own ideas, he actually says that people who read/listen to this book won't learn anything new, but what has already been said by philosophers, doctors, scientists. It's just a reminder for whomever needs one. I apparently did.
He gives examples to better understand the conclusions and I honestly say that ever since I finished it (last week) I try to apply some of the things I heard and there is a change. Not a big one, but like all changes, it takes time to get used to it.

Some books are evergreen whenever you turn their pages you will find something new. This book is time tested and paved the way for millions of people to live their life happily.
I love reading Dale Carnegie due to his writing styles. He makes everything quiet and clear. His language is pretty easy and elaboration is lucid and detailed.
The book 'How to stop worrying and start living' is a masterpiece by him. He has shown some practical steps in the way of becoming a person free from fear and non-sense worries. It totally depends on us whether we want to live happily or we want to become sad. Of course, there is a certain step in the process of achieving a worry-free life. But the basics reamins the same all the time. And the author has only reflected those basics in a clear manner.

Cum să încetezi să te mai îngrijorezi și să începi să trăiești cu adevărat?

În primul rând, autorul ne explică că îngrijorările se referă la chestiuni care nu există și, foarte probabil, nici nu vor exista, așadar sunt un consum inutil de energie psihică.
Și ne sfătuiește să folosim energia aceea pentru obiective clare din prezent (de aici vine a doua parte a titlului).

Mi-a plăcut mult cartea și v-o recomand cu toată căldura!

A sosit timpul să lăsăm în urmă regretele trecutului, dar să nu uităm lecțiile. A sosit timpul să ne îngrijorăm mai puțin în privința traiului de mâine sau în privința altor chestii inutile, cum ar fi părerile celorlalți despre noi.

Ridică fruntea și caută ceva cu care rezonezi. Uită de restul!
În viața asta contează doar ceea ce-ți place ție! Tu creezi realitatea ta, nu prietenii, nu vecina, nu șeful de scară.

Dacă ți se pare că Dale Carnegie are dreptate, fă-ți un bine și ieși dracului de pe pilot automat. Începe să trăiești, să iubești, să te bucuri și, mai ales, să acționezi!
Mai știi ce înseamnă să acționezi? Îți mai amintești cum e?

Ok, hai să facem un test: dă un LIKE acestei recenzii.

Acționează!

Religious bigotry and preaching disguised as psychology, with some useful information mixed in. Full review to come.

This book is among the very most valuable gifts you could give to a friend or family member.

Well...what can be more difficult than communication?
I remember, I was reading Dale Carnegie when I started to work in a hospital as a dentist. I was working in military hospital. It was my first time I met the people who work for the government. They have different mentality and they are much more difficult in communication. I was suffering from miscommunication and misunderstanding. I was searching for answers how to make my work life happier and more productive. That time my father advised me the book of Dale Carnegie. Every day 30 minutes before work and 30 minutes afterwards I was listening audio book of Carnegie and I was making some notes. I started to smile mote even I did not want to. I stared to practice some advises from the book. It worked so well that I did not stop on one book...Well...what can be more difficult than communication?! I guess nothing ! If anybody knows, please let me know!
The problem is WHAT you think about the situation. Just change the direction of your thoughts. Look from different corners! Try to be open-minded ! And try to get out of your egoism as much as possible!

And never enough reading !
