This book has helped me more than once. I gave my other copy away and forgot about it, until I needed to read it again. Then realized I was without. I was more than happy to buy another copy.If you need real help, this book will provide the outlook you need in order to help yourself. A chapter a day (and the chapters are very small), will help you more than you can imagine.

This book arrived with the cover bent in half. Not the worst part, it had a thick ear wax looking type substance on the front and sides of the book. Looks like someone read this and sent this back. No quality control and absolutely disgusting. Also….The text in the book was crooked!Update:Ok, I decided to sanitize the book and start this process over because I carefully chose this book with a lot of thought. It is a wonderful book. Its straightforward. Short but concise. The format is written in a way that explains why the advice is given the way it is. I was reading this with excitement on how to use this daily in my life. I loved it so much I am going to read it again and highlight the parts important to me. No wonder so many were sold.I dont want to blame the book for the manner in which it was printed and sent to me.Im glad I bought this.

Many of the concepts and techniques I have found in Dr Carlson’s book are very similar to the teachings of the Bible.I enjoy reading the Bible daily throughout the year and also reviewing Dr. Carlson’s advice for a less-stressful life.-Dave-

There are 2 books that I consider to be the best ones ever written on the subject of worry and anxiety. The first is this one, and the other is "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living," by Dale Carnegie. They can be read together or each one can be read alone. I've reviewed Dale Carnegie's book elsewhere, so now for this book. It truly is amazing when words in a book can be life changing. That's exactly what this book is. There are people who say that the contents of this book are so obvious that the book deserves only 1 star. They are entirely missing the point. The fact that everything the author states is obvious, makes it even more effective at reaching those who feel that their life is being overrun by worry and anxiety. Richard Carlson wrote this book in a simplistic manner for a reason. The simplicity in which it's written serves as a catalyst to provide instant relief from the burdens of everyday life. His main premise is that there is virtually nothing that is so important that it's worth ruining your life over with worry. If you read the entire book, which you can easily do in a day or two; you'll quickly realize that there is nothing in this world that's so important as to cause you to have constant worry and anxiety over. Life is short and 99.9% of the things that we worry about and that cause us intense anxiety, never happen. The tiny percentage of things that do happen, always have a solution. This book is incredibly helpful at completely eliminating worry and anxiety. It worked for me and it can work for you. Personally; reading just this book by itself cured me, however; I decided that I wanted to read the book mentioned above by Dale Carnegie as a companion to this one. I have to say that the 2 books combined will provide you with a firewall against any worry and anxiety that you have, regardless of how long you've had it. As a side note, sadly, Richard Carlson died at a very young age from a pulmonary embolism during a flight from San Francisco to New York. Life truly is short, so there's no point in spending it with worry and anxiety.

Down to earth, great read. Bought one for my son also.

My parents read this back in the day and there are tons of echoes of their parenting style laced throughout this book. Overall the sentiments are good, turn the other cheek, assume the best in people, etc. but overall the tone was too kumbaya for me, I kept wanting to say, "yeah, but what if your boss is a twit and insists on making the small stuff your problem?"I don't know if this book has just become a part of common rhetoric on the subject or if it's just trite but I had to power through the last hour of it. To its credit I listened on my commute and it did alleviate some of the road rage so I'll say it does make you focus on the effort of being more chill.

A must Read for everyone I would suggest. Read carefully, take notes or underline and I normally read 5 chapters a day and did not finish like a novel. I wanted to practise in my life so took it bite by bite. It is one of the best books on self help and life lessons and I am sure it will improve your approach to deal with tough times, annoying people, frustration and depression.Just make it practical and don't read like a Novel.

It is definitely a good read. It has short chapters and to the point. Easy to understand and apply in your life.
