How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie

A life-saver book for many generations, this Carnegie’s piece of work has caught my eye as well. Being rather nervous person myself I thought I would find lots of interesting and useful tips in this book and I was right. Frankly, I started reading it long ago and was so bored I must drop it. But now I decided to give it a second chance and not regret it.

The book provides you with lots and lots of useful information, tips and advices on how to stop worrying. Personally I enjoyed reading it and now developed some if the tips into my daily routine. I started acting before I can think I have fear or I can’t do it. I started to find some time each day to rest and relax properly. Now I have a special notebook for inspirational quotes for rainy days. I try to forgive people immediately on their wrongdoings and not get upset with criticism. I try to do everything in time, am not afraid of difficulties in work anymore (for I can learn from them) and I keep my working place always clean now.

Of course, this book won’t eliminate worrying completely from you. You have to work hard yourself to see the results. But it certainly will push you to action. You should not read it as a regular book. Read and reread it from time to time because you will need inspirational tips every now and then. 

“Our thoughts make us what we are.” 

Brunette Ambition by Lea Michele

“We live in a world of self-deprecation, and while it’s healthy to make fun of ourselves from time to time, it bothers me when I see women of all ages belittling their accomplishments because they don’t want to appear boastful or overconfident. You don’t see a lot of guys out there underplaying their strengths or making light of what they’re good at, so why should women? While I get that there’s a fine line between owning your accomplishments and reciting every line of your résumé, there is absolutely no shame in being proud of what you’ve managed to achieve! Own it!” 

This book is full of advices, receipts and tips on healthy happy living which will help you to organize your life. (I’ve already stolen one and now always prepare my outfit beforehand; it really helps not to be late). But there are reasons why this book will be interesting for Miss Michele fans only. And they are:
-She likes herself a lot.
-No she loooooooooves herself a lot.
-She talks about how she loves herself a lot. A lot.
-If you don’t looooooooove her lot than you would be a little bit bored.
There is nothing wrong with loving who you are, don’t get me wrong. But it could be understandable if she wrote it once or twice. Not throughout the whole book.
Nevertheless her fans should be really glad – besides her useful tips and inspirational words she talks about her life, how she organizes it in a way to be at time always, look her best and do her best at her job. What is more there is another Thins and it’s her mentions of her star friends which is also fun.
This book may be better than other books of this type (I haven’t read them much, can’t say for sure), but you would not reread it later. So it is better to write down all the necessary tips that you think are useful for you.

In other words, I recommend it to Lea Michele’s fans (who would definitely read it without any suggestions) and to teenage girls who enjoys such kind of books and find it very inspirational and useful.
