How to Stop Worrying and Start Living is loaded with lots of very specific ideas for conquering stress in the moment, which is quite useful and makes this book worth reading. However, it doesn’t address fixing some of the true root causes of stress: overall lifestyle choices and the like.
In other words, if stress is a constant in your life, you may need to look deeply at the root causes of it. Carnegie’s advice is an excellent balm for your wound, but it won’t heal the wound – you may need to look elsewhere for that type of help. I found that Carnegie’s immediate advice on stress and happiness worked very well when coupled with the long view of advice from books like The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People; neither one really addresses it all as a whole, but they compliment each other quite well.
How to Stop Worrying and Start Living is well worth reading and adding to your repertoire of personal techniques, but it isn’t a be-all-end-all answer to stress.
