In 2010 world-renowned innovation expert Clayton M. Christensen gave a powerful speech to the Harvard Business School's graduating class. Drawing upon his business research, he offered a series of guidelines for finding meaning and happiness in life. He used examples from his own experiences to explain how high achievers can all too often fall into traps that lead to unhappiness. Full of inspiration and wisdom, this book will help students, midcareer professionals, and parents alike forge their own paths to fulfillment.
From Amy Morin, author of '13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do', the article that went viral and garnered million views in two weeks, comes the ultimate how-to guide to overcome the obstacles getting in the way of a fabulous, more fulfilling and happier life. Morin knows that of which she speaks. At just 26, while working as a psychologist and therapist, Morin's husband died suddenly. Inwardly reeling, she realised what pitfalls she didn't want to succumb to: self-pity, a sense of entitlement and resentment.
This 2006 revision - edited by a longtime consultant to Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc., and the editor in charge of updating How to Win Friends and Influence People - is the definitive one for our era. While up to date in its language and points of reference, Public Speaking for Success preserves the full range of ideas and methods that appeared in the original, including Carnegie's complete speech and diction exercises, which follow each chapter, as the author originally designated them.
The Element shows the vital need to enhance creativity and innovation by thinking differently about human resources and imagination. It is an essential strategy for transforming education, business, and communities to meet the challenges of living and succeeding in the 21st century.
Is IQ destiny? Not nearly as much as we think. This fascinating and persuasive program argues that our view of human intelligence is far too narrow, ignoring a crucial range of abilities - emotional intelligence - that matter immensely in terms of how we do in life.
You might think laziness, lack of willpower, and/or low motivation are to blame for the fact that you aren't achieving your goals. But fascinating research in the field of psychoneuroimmunology has revealed another, far more likely possibility. One with the potential to transform your life in a dramatic way.

Many self-health books do not give practical advice about how to stop worrying. This is not one of them. "How To Stop Worrying and Start Living" has been a great comfort to me over the years. I first read the book nearly 10 years ago when I desperately needed help to cope with taking exams at school. It definitely helped me get through the exams and since then I have used the book to deal with all sorts of worries, from job interviews to bereavement to dealing with criticism from others.
One of the best aspects of the book is the huge number of true life stories of people who have dealt with all sorts of difficult situations, everything from low self-esteem to facing up to a terminal illness. Dale Carnegie doesn't berate the reader or speak down to them, but nor does he pander to their fears. He encourages you to look at your worry situation clearly and honestly and to take practical steps to resolve the issue or to learn to cope with it.
Is the tone of the book old-fashioned? Well, a bit. Obviously, it was written in the 1940s and so certain attitudes relate to that time period. For example, women were only starting to make their mark in the world of work, and the book reflects this. Nevertheless, I think most of the stories are timeless and are still useful and relevant today.
I would definitely recommend this book to anybody who is a worrier and / or going through a difficult time.

It was going so well until chapter 21, then it got massively religious. Get the points but not into religion so it's a 3 from me.

Excellent message, brilliantly told.
4 stars because of its incessant use if religion and prayer to heal all worries.

This book changed my life. This is how much I think of it. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, For something that was written decades ago it is full of common sense ideas. I listen to it regularly and each time it gives me a different outlook on problems. If you are suffering from worry, stress, anxieties I would highly recommend this book

This is a wonderful book. It demonstrates the timelessness of "modern" anxieties and worries. People have been coming to terms with difficult, frightening and overwhelming feelings throughout history, and some of the situations experienced by people during the depression or the second world war gave me a real sense of perspective on my own worries. A great antidote for anxiety.

Strange language is used in many different parts of this book and it is clearly written in another generation. This adds to the charm. The voice of the narrator is strangely soothing and easy to listen too, I enjoyed this immensely.

Many anecdotes allow multiple opportunities for the listener to walk away with useful life tips. Some religious parts skipped over by a non-believer like myself, but don't let these get in the way of this classic book.

.. for a book written decades back in the mid 20thC. I bought this for a (young) friend, and then worried that it would be out of date and old fashioned for a twenty something reader. (I worried so much, in fact, that I felt compelled to download the book and listen to it just to reassure myself.. oh the irony). The examples (people under artillery barrages in WW1 trenches) are historic, but not irrelevant. Often they underline that life was a lot tougher a hundred years ago, which is no bad thing in itself. Dale Carnegie must have done so much good for mankind.

While there are some good ideas, they are poorly expressed. Unlike in his much better book, how to win friends..., this seems to lack appropriate editing and stories go on endlessly. There's a notable influence of his religion here which weakens rather than strengthens his points.

I really enjoyed this audio book. I discovered it at a time of need. The reader, Andrew MacMillan is awesome. Sometimes when I listen to audio books the information is excellent, but the reader is too monotone. But Andrew did an exceptional job with this book. I am looking for other books read by him because his voice is so soothing.
Although most of the examples cited in the book are from a different era, I fully understood the message. It does not make a difference whether it happened during the first century or current, worry is a constant no matter when you live(d).
I was able to take the information, use the examples, and apply them to my situation.
However, this is not something you read once and then put down. You have to listen to it periodically. With everything else in life, we need reminders. This is no exception. I keep the book on my iPod and refresh my thoughts. In fact, I have specific areas that I have pinpointed that I like to listen to again and again.
I also shared the book with my husband and he thought it was excellent as well.
Also, as an educator, I think we should share this type of information with our teenagers. They need to learn how to cope with worry at an early age. I think it is important that we train them how to handle worry before they become adults.

You know when I first started reading this book, it seemed kind of dated to me, like advise from a 1950's doctor. But as I got deeper into the book, things started sinking in and a realized the context of this book is timeless. I most enjoyed some of the stories about how some of the greatest most powerful people dealt with some real trying situations. Good and bad things happen to everyone. How we are able to cope with them determines our general happiness in life. If I catch myself starting to worry about things, I read the book again and it helps me deal with life and renews my confidence that everything will be ok. There are real tools in this book. If worrying has caused you even a slight bit of unhappiness I would recommend this book. I imagine people have probably paid alot of money just to learn some of the lessons in this book.

I have long been on this path of self development and I am not new to Dale Carnegie's work. For some reason I had not even heard of this book until now.
The book is a typical Dale Carnegie book and gleams from experience. There is so much content in this book, a lot of it is common sense, but how many of us use common sense.
If you are looking for a book that gives you strategies to use then this is a book could have been written in modern times. I doubt it will go out of flavor any time soon

My brother recommended this book for me at a time when I was down with a lot of problems and was worrying everyday. After listening to this book on my iphone and to all the problems that other people were having and still they found a way to move on with their lifes. It helped me me pull through and learn to accept my situation. Therefore, I was able to pull myself through and now I have a very good job and I am successful with my kids and looking forward to a great year. There are still somethings I need to do, but I am very optimistic!

If you’ve listened to books by Dale Carnegie before, how does this one compare?
Do not compare to his master pice How to Win Friends and Influence People

Dale Carnegie is one for the ages. He offers great advice and many different ways to achieve a state of less worry and more enjoyment of the present moment. I found this very inspiring.

Great classic on this topic and if you listen and understand the message, maybe a few times, some of it will sink in and help. I mean after all, who doesn't worry, and who doesn't need some reminders on how to deal with it. If this helps you even a little, the return is far worth the credit. Good basis for the self help series to have under your belt. I am do for a reread. You are due for your first. "Listen to the inexpensive self help books first before you take any expensive self help courses."

Often recommended as one of the pillars in self-help litterature, this book receives praise seemingly just for being around for a long time. "Time tested advice", I've heard it called. It is not.
Mostly anecdotal generalizations without any serious scientific backing sprinkled with some thinly veiled Christian propaganda, this book is a waste of your time. Worst of all, to me at least, is how the book gives rules to follow rather than advicing reflection. It seems to say "Think less, do as I say and all will be well".
I call BS on this one.
Read something properly researched psychology instead. And the classics that Carnegie likes to pick from to lend some weight to his text. They are much better when not taken out of context.
