How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie

Sometimes we find ourselves crying over the past, or we feel uncertain about the future, both of which leave us in an exhausting psychological anxiety. Few of us realize the damage that can occur to our health as a result of this excessive worry that can lead in the end to physical illness.
The two famous doctors, Charles Mayo and William Mayo, who were best known for founding the Mayo Clinic in the United States, once found that more than half of the hospital beds were filled by people suffering from frustration, anxiety and desperation.
Arthritis, for example, is the most common ailment that anxiety can cause. There are also medical conditions that indicate that anxiety can increase the possiblity of insanity and diabetes.
Despite the popular belief, anxiety is actually something that can be easily overcome. In this book, Dale Carnegie says that there are two options for overcoming anxiety:
The first option is to focus your attention on the present, which means, to live your day without looking at what happened in the past and without worrying about what might happen in the future. The best preparation for tomorrow is in the mastery of today's work.
As for the second option is to ask yourself: What is the worst-case scenario that could happen to you? Could you lose your job? To end up imprisoned? Or broke? Then, accept this worst-case scenario. Assume for a moment that the worst is what will happen. This worst-case scenario probably isn't that bad, and you can probably get out of it. For example, if you lose your job, you can always find another one. Once you accept this worst-case scenario, you will likely feel more calm, in order to find solutions for how to overcome your anxiety.
