How To Stop Worrying and Start Living - What Other People Think Of Me Is None Of My Business Paperback – August 8, 2014

I must admit, I tend to worry quite excessively. And the worst thing about stress is not only how it makes me feel, think and interact with the world around me, but it also affects those around me in very distinct and destructive ways.It affects my family, my significant other, my relatives and co-workers. Hell, even the innocent cashier at the grocery shop gets to feel some of it too. In most instances it is very hard to do anything about it as it is all happening. It usually comes later, when most of the dust has settled.I’m really glad I decided to get this book. It did a marvelous job of explaining, in detail, how it is that stress can affect me so profoundly. More importantly, it got me thinking about all the things that are in my power to do by providing me with a lot of useful strategies that I can begin to implement immediately in order to make a positive and lasting change.It’s hard to put words on it, but I actually felt lighter after having read this book, both mentally, physically, and even on a more deeper and spiritual level. I think it was because I was able to fully put myself in the shoes of the examples that the author provided me with.For me personally, I’ll definitely return to this book again and again, just so that I can constantly remind myself of how what I can do to reach a level of stress that is not eating me from the inside out and so that I don’t lose track of what’s truly important here in life.I think the whole world needs a whole lot of de-stressing, so I’m sure it doesn't come as a surprise when I say that a lot of people need to read this book. And if you have read this far, this is definitely the book for you, that I can tell you for sure.

This is a very starting guide if you feel that stress is significantly impacting your life and well being. Does a great job on breaking down on what the causes of stress are and realistic steps to take to try and combat it. Good read!

If negative stress takes up a big part of your life, as it has in mine, this book will be of tremendous help to you.Everything can seem quite overwhelming when put under a lot of stress, and eventually it’ll come to the point to where nothing seems worthwhile anymore. As I’m sure many others have already said, stress will make itself known in many (if not all) areas of life.I’m so thankful I got my hands on this little book. It made me realize so much about myself that I wouldn’t have been able to see before. It was as if the book put everything in perspective and therefore allowed me to look at my present situation in an unbiased light. The way that the author wrote really had a way of opening up for the possibilities and what can be done, rather than focusing on the negatives.I feel so much more inspired and energized after having read this book in order to actually make a positive change in my life. I know I’ll eventually get to a place where stress is no longer the one holding the steering wheel, but I am. One step at a time.If you’re feeling stressed out and overwhelmed too, this book will give you the necessary tools and inspiration to make that change, the change that only you can make.

It was informative and validated what I already knew. Very easy read.

This was a really good book. I especially enjoyed the section on ”Stress reading”, that was a completely new technique to me and came in as a very handy tool for tracking your behavioral stress and thought patterns.The book provides several solutions to different types of stress, actually the author goes through something he calls ”Symptoms of Stress - The 5 Levels” where he explains five different kinds or types of stress. Later in the book he helps you to deal with them, by using very straight forward techniques, and even get rid of them. I highly recommend this book!

Seems kind of basic, didn’t really go over much. Very general. Is a quick read but I feel more books would be helpful

...but nice to see it all written down in one place. ;)

Wow, what a great book on stress; what it is, how to notice it, and finally overcome it.Furthermore, this book was very insightful and informative. Also it was well written and well researched.I now understand what triggers my stress and how to manage it.The book allowed me to notice the reasons i've been feeling stress lately.It also helped me deal with stress and allowed me to live a happier life.This book does a great job at provides many tips and strategies when dealing with stress.I proudly recommend this book to whoever is always feeling stressed and would like some relief.

This book was a really short book. However, it was really helpful because it really gets to the point on the subject matter of stress and anxiety. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is suffering from depression due to stress, induction and my own piece of advice to the potential reader would be. There is always a lot of help out there for whatever mental condition you may be experiencing.

This is a book everyone of us should carry daily. It's a little gem of basic profound helpful strategies. It should be given to every 20 year old starting out in life. It's the most basic type of logo therapy which makes it all the more useful. Amazing!

The same old things that you can find in Wikipedia or in Google. Techniques based on having positive thoughts. Not new.

This book gave me some great insight into the stress causing triggers in my life, this coupled with good practical advice, tips and strategies on dealing with stress and anxiety makes this a very worthwhile read. The book provides several solutions to different types of stress. The author goes through what he defines as ”Symptoms of Stress - The 5 Levels” where he explains five different kinds or types of stress. Later in the book he helps the reader deal with them using very straight forward techniques. It’s a book I’ll be referring to some members of my own family who do not handle stress and anxiety well. Highly recommend.

The little gem for me was where the author referred to someone being like a hamster in a wheel - summed up exactly what I was doing worrying about what someone else was thinking! Title may be a bit misleading as it isn't, I don't think, about what other people are thinking - more about how what you are thinking affects how you feel in any given situation. Well worth reading.
