How to Enjoy Your Life and Your Job: A Review

This book by bestselling author Dale Carnegie has been in print for a number of years.  I just finished rereading it this week and I do highly recommend it.

The book contains selections from “How to Win Friends and Influence People” and “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living.”

Some of the great thoughts elaborated on in this book are:

Find yourself and be yourself: Remember there is no one else on earth like you.

Four working habits that will help prevent fatigue and worry.

What makes you tired and what you can do about it.

How to banish the boredom that produces fatigue, worry and resentment.

Count your blessings-not your troubles.

Do the very best you can; and then put up your old umbrella and keep the rain of criticism from running down the back of your neck.

Become genuinely interested in people.

Make the other person feel important- and do it sincerely.

Show respect for the other person’s opinions. Never say, “You’re wrong.”

Begin in a friendly way.

Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers.

Appeal to the nobler motives.

Tell about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.

Let the other person save face.

I really enjoyed this book. The isbn is 978-0-671-70826-9. This is a pocket book published by Simon and Schuster and you can purchase this book in fine book stores or on line from Amazon.com
