[Fran · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was awarded this book by a vote of the Dale Carnegie Class #20 for a memorable talk on "how to conquer fear and worry" back in the early 1970s.

Dorthy was the wife of Dale Carnegie, and she gives practical advice on the most basic of all human problems - the problem of maturing. The book shows you how to take on responsibility by turning handicaps into assets, by rising above set-backs and never losing faith in yourself no matter what happens. She expresses the importance of knowing yourself, liking yourself and being yourself.

I, too, was awarded the book at the end of a University-sponsored Dale Carnegie class. At the time, the title didn't interest...but now, I think I might have a different perspective...Will see!

I think I would have been a little more impressed with this book if I hadn't recently read 'How to Live 365 Days a Year' by John A. Schindler. Carnegie's smart advice is similar to Schindler's (she even quotes him), but more conversational in tone. The chapter, 'Marriage is for grownups' should be required reading.
