How identity can be attached to achieving and where it starts. Why we focus so much on proving ourselves. How our dependence on achievement can be tied to our need for love and belonging. What can happen in our brain, when we try to slow down from our fast pace life. Rules may also be known as limiting beliefs or stories. Why are we so focused on being liked? What are some examples of rules that people may not realize are rules that they are following?

At this stage, most people have heard of Dale Carnegie’s uber-bestselling book How to Win Friends and Influence People. It was originally published in 1936 and has sold 15 million copies. It helped kicked off the whole self-development movement and is one of the bestselling self-help book of all time. (It was #19 on Time magazines list of all-time most influential books.) Having said that, I actually avoided reading it for over 20 years. I just couldn’t get past what appeared to be a pretty shallow, transactional view of human relationships so… Alas, a couple years ago I finally submitted to the pressure of countless requests to do a Note on it (hah) and really enjoyed it. But that’s not quite the point of Today’s +1. This is. Did you know Dale wrote another book a dozen years later called How to Stop Worrying and Start Living? It’s true. And, it’s AWESOME. Quick question: You ever worry? * Insert laughter here * Once again: Of course you do. You’re human. Want a quick tip on how to stop worrying and start living? Dale offers a bunch of practical wisdom but this is one of my favorites: “George Bernard Shaw was right. He summed it all up when he said: ‘The secret of being miserable is to have the leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not.’ So don’t bother to think about it! Spit on your hands and get busy. Your blood will start circulating; your mind will start ticking—and pretty soon this whole positive upsurge of life in your body will drive worry from your mind. Get busy. Keep busy. It’s the cheapest kind of medicine there is on this earth—and one of the best.” Obviously, it’s a bit more nuanced than that but… Yep. That’s about right. As George Bernard Shaw says: “The secret of being miserable is to have the leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not.” And, as Dale Carnegie says: “Spit on your hands and get busy. Your blood will start circulating; your mind will start ticking—and pretty soon this whole positive upsurge of life in your body will drive worry from your mind. Get busy. Keep busy. It’s the cheapest kind of medicine there is on this earth—and one of the best.” * Insert spit on your hands * Let’s get busy. And stay busy. While, of course, properly oscillating and shutting down completely when the time’s right. Today.

Jay, name a person who shaped your life in a positive way. This could be family, friend, or a public figure. How have they shaped your life? Dale Carnegie - Reading the books. How to Win Friends and Influence People and How to Stop Worrying and Start Living - It changed my life Joyce and Lynn were my first two supervisors in my professional communications career. They invested time and energy (and lots of patience) into shaping me into a leader.
