How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (Chapter 1)
Worry has a way of hijacking a perfectly good day, one thought about yesterday's mistakes or tomorrow's problems at a time. Dale Carnegie's answer, developed nearly a century ago and still just as relevant, is refreshingly simple: live in “day-tight compartments” and give today your full attention.
This free ebook is the opening chapter of Carnegie's classic How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, featuring the real stories and practical thinking that have helped millions of readers put worry back in its place.
