评分及书评
- 给这本书评了5.0焦虑应对手册
很多年前看过中文版，书中对于焦虑的应对方法对我影响颇深，间接的造就了我 "大大咧咧" 的性格，面对很多别人眼中的 "大事"、"焦虑" 甚至 "恐惧"，我可能会多一点点从容，遇事时不至于失了方寸，被焦虑担忧影响到我的正常生活、工作和学习。这次看完原文后，对于焦虑的应对方法有了更好的理解和掌握，人生在世难免遇见困难，不确定性是常态，所以没有必要追求对生活的完全掌控，如果一失控我们就就沉湎于焦虑，那做事的时间、精力和动力都会大打折扣，那我们怎么能高效的成长呢。有功夫焦虑，还不如做点事儿呢。道理很简单，但总有些人会过于的看重自己的遭受的经历（或者说所谓的 "苦难"），认为劝说其不要焦虑的人是站着说话不腰疼，殊不知应对焦虑的确是有方法的，而这本书就是一本非常棒的高效应对焦虑的手册，只要你认真去读并付诸实践，在应对和减少焦虑这方面，绝对会有所收获。这本堪称经典的书，常看常新，强烈推荐！
给这本书评了4.0只管好好做事那天翻找英文书，无意间发现这本书，第一反应以为看错了，不是人性的弱点吗？这本书怎么是优点呢？打开发现也是卡耐基写的，可是我从来没听说过。仔细对比了下，确实和弱点那本不一样，是两本书。如果没有读这本书，我对书名的翻译没任何感觉。可是，现在两本我都看完了，我有点不理解为啥两本书名要翻译为弱点和优点，一本讲影响力，一本讲克服焦虑，很难说哪个是弱点还是优点。或许，世界就是这样，习惯大于一切，这两本书名之所以是我们看到的这样，不过是习惯而已。其实读这样的书，很容易陷入那个懂那么多道理，还是过不好这一生的陷阱。我想大概是因为两点，一是读者真的就只把它当成书来看，看完就结束了，但有的书偏偏是行动手册，就像这本，而我大概就是那个一般的读者。二是或许大家并没有自己想象中那么在乎自己的焦虑，并不真想解决它。其实一个人真想做什么事，他会立马去做。就像卡耐基，我觉得他是真想帮人们解决问题，因为他写了一本又一本解决问题的书，访谈了一个又一个人，讲了一堂又一堂课，收集一个又一个案例，这一切，都是因为他真想帮助你我他。说实话，我突然觉得认真做事的人好像都殊途同归了，不管是卡耐基，还是富兰克林，曾国藩，李鸿章，任凭世事如何变幻，我自坚若磐石。
给这本书评了4.0Worry facing, solve or forgetWorries, very killing part in practical living, people have them more or less, which impact heavily, or even more heavily.What the absurd is those people worry usually never happen. How are we supposed to deal with worries then? To figure out what made us worry, can it be solved? Would it happen in real? What the consequences if it happened? How would it impact on us? Given the answers to the above, we probably know how we act.Solve those real problems, and let go the imagined things.Can’t help thinking about the worries? Keep ourselves busy then and squeeze them out.Be happy, don’t worry!
