"The Weaknesses of Human Nature and the Strengths of Human Nature (The Complete Collection of Value-for-money Collector's Edition)" is a book about how humans overcome "worry". Carnegie believed that worry is one of the problems facing mankind. Carnegie found that in current hospitals, more than half of the beds were occupied by people with mental and emotional problems. Carnegie also found that in adult education classes, whether they were senior executives, salespeople, engineers and accountants, or housewives, they all had a variety of problems and worries, so he decided to open a course to conquer worries. He read biographies of famous people who had faced serious problems to find out how these people solved their problems, and from them he came up with tips to help people overcome their worries.
Reader comments
The points mentioned in this book are very reasonable. Just like when I had a fight with my girlfriend before, I couldn't help but criticize her. As a result, she became more and more defensive and our relationship became more tense. After reading this book, I realized that criticism is often useless, but will hurt the other person's self-esteem. Now I try to praise her more and our relationship has really improved a lot! This book taught me a lot of basic principles of interpersonal relationships, which is very practical.
