This Book Was Like A Life Preserver...

Tossed to me at a time in my life when I was drowning in my worries. Oh, my worries were real enough, I had good cause to worry! Everyone said so. My husband died suddenly, then my teenage daughter got into drugs, dropped out of school and ran away! I worried so much my hair fell out!! And this went on for several YEARS! In this book I met other people who had good cause to worry, too. Those who shared their life experiences with Dale Carnegie, and gave him their best coping techniques so that he could compile them in a single text. They talked about how they dealt with the fear of war, or illness, or poverty, or lonliness and the worst one of all: despair. I read it over and over. I clung to the stories of people rising above their circumstances and making it through hard times. This book is FILLED with things you can do IMMEDIATELY to improve your life, practical concepts that REALLY WORK. Even though I am in a happier place in life at this time, I thank God for this book and the calm it brought me during my toughest years.

Excelente!

Muy buen libro para aquellos que buscan como enfrentar los problemas de una manera positiva e inteligente. Como esperar lo peor de una situacion y darnos cuenta que no es el final del mundo, que hay una esperanza. Nos enseña como librarnos de preocupaciones que solo nos llevan a nuestro desgaste fisico y emocional.Es un libro para conservarlo de por vida porque una vez leido vas a sentir la necesidad de volver a leerlo cuando los problemas de la vida te azoten de nuevo. Sinceramente lo recomiendo.

If the principles are so obvious...

...why doesn't everyone following them? Because that's the biggest knock I've heard regarding this book. Some people are reading each chapter and coming away saying "well that's obvious." Folks, there isn't anything groundbreaking about this book. There isn't some type of genius method of instantly transforming your life around. It was written decades ago but the solid principles still apply today. For example, if you want to add years to your life, take a nap for an hour each day. Carnegie is then going to tell you exactly who did this and how it helped them transform their life. Read this book once, then twice, then a third time and start living these principles. They are simple but effective and they will, as the title implies, help you start living your life.
