Worry is a negative emotion that makes people obsess about the object of the worry, and prevents them from thinking beyond that. It stops people from clearing their mind and trying to arrive at a solution. Instead, worrying becomes the central action. In this book, Dale Carnegie teaches his readers how they can stop worrying with the help of simple techniques that are based on common-sense.
