Book 9: How to Stop Worrying and Start Living

The most fascinating thing that has happened from all my reading is seeing how the books overlap. One book will say one thing and another will say something entirely different but it will somehow back up what the other book said. I wish I had an example off the top of my head but alas I don't, next time I will try to remember to write them down.

So what did I learn this week?

Worry really is worth it. I've know that my whole life but when you read a book that over and over shows why it isn't worth it, it makes you realize how foolish it is. I enjoy reading Dale Carnegie's books (He is also the author of How to Win Friends and Influence People) because they are so practical. He doesn't only show why worry isn't worth it but he shows how to combat it and what to do. I feel more capable of fighting the worry in my life and cutting it off before it grows roots. If you have every struggled with anxiety or worrying please do yourself a favor and pick this book up. It won't be a waste of your time.

This week I am taking the week off of reading but I shall pick it up on Monday of next week reading Book 10: The Magic of Thinking Big by David J Schwartz. It was recommended to me by a friend!

I can't believe I am going to be reading my tenth book!
