Dale Carnegie Celebrates the Relaunch of a Classic for a New Generation: How to Stop Worrying and Start Living: Time-Tested Methods for Conquering Worry

NEW YORK, October 22, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Dale Carnegie, a global professional development company, in partnership with publisher Simon & Schuster, announce the release of a refreshed edition of HOW TO STOP WORRYING AND START LIVING, Dale Carnegie’s timeless guide to overcoming anxiety, now available for a new generation of readers at major bookstores and online.

First published over 80 years ago, this classic book of practical advice has now been updated for the first time in four decades, featuring a new introduction by Dale Carnegie’s daughter, Donna Carnegie. 

Originally written long before terms like “mindfulness” and “stress-management” became part of the everyday lexicon, HOW TO STOP WORRYING AND START LIVING continues to resonate with readers navigating today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world. The new edition remains true to Dale Carnegie’s original teachings while incorporating contemporary insights to address the rising challenges of mental health in today’s society. 

"It’s currently estimated that one in three adults will experience an anxiety disorder in their lifetime. Depression, anxiety, and suicide rates are alarmingly high," says Donna Carnegie. "In a technology-driven age that promised so much, our advancements have created their own set of problems. But the methods my father laid out here have withstood the test of time, ready to help you, the next generation."

The core principles found in HOW TO STOP WORRYING AND START LIVING are as relevant today as they were decades ago, offering practical strategies to manage anxiety and worry, such as:

• Recognize work habits that lead to stress
• Develop concrete plans to change and improve work routines
• Discover the foundation for more effective work habits
• Stop getting stuck on criticism
• Gain appreciation and gratitude

This updated edition reflects modern language and societal expectations while preserving Dale Carnegie’s timeless wisdom. In a world where anxiety and mental health concerns are increasingly prevalent, HOW TO STOP WORRYING AND START LIVING offers proven, actionable solutions to help readers face life’s challenges with confidence.
