How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie

[QualityMom]

That is one of my favorites by Dale Carnegie.  He wrote How to Stop Worrying and Start Living after he wrote How to Win Friends and Influence People and reading the material helped me to stop worrying once and for all and gave me a big breakthrough.

Blessings to all....

How to win Friends was one of the books I remember from my dad's bookshelf oh so many years ago.  At the time I had no idea why my father was reading it. He was very friendly and popular and seemed to know everyone. We could not walk through a store or the park or anywhere without him stopping to exchange a conversation with several people.

I think I read it around high school, and then went on to devour almost anything from the Nightingale-Carnegie catalog.

That's a cool story--thanks for sharing--it sounds like your Dad was "living" what he had read--which is of course the goal!  It sounds like he was doing exactly what Carnegie wanted--acting and feeling in a way that "attracted" people with his interest in them--hope I will master that myself.

Take Care--:)

I have a very similar memory! My dad had a dusty copy of this book when I was a kid. Many times, he tried to get me to read it, of course, I didn't. I finally read it a few years ago and it was enlightening.  My dad is also very friendly and is constantly talking to people everywhere he goes. Everybody likes him!
