It's 3 AM and I still can't sleep. I'm thinking the same thing for the fiftieth time. I tell myself not to think about it, but then I think even harder. I wake up feeling exhausted from not having accomplished anything.

This podcast takes you through the decoding of Dale Carnegie's book, "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living," a book he wrote himself because he couldn't find any books on this subject in the library—he found almost nine times more books about bookworms than about anxiety.

We follow the book, starting with what exactly anxiety is and why it's different from caring. Then we look at three things that charge us rent every day, and finally, the one question that people who truly stop worrying dare to ask—and it's not positive thinking. Plus, five things you can do starting tonight.

Listen to this full episode on your way home or play it in the background while you work.

In this video you will get:
• The difference between caring and worrying, which most people confuse.
• Why half of the world's worries stem from making decisions without enough information.
• The day-to-day waterproof room and the hourglass that flows grain by grain.
• Three things that worry charges you rent: concentration, the little things that gnaw at you every day, and tension.
• A four-hundred-year-old tree that didn't fall even after being struck by lightning fourteen times, but fell because of a swarm of beetles.
• The law of averages, the cut-loss point of worry, and the spilled milk.
• The one question that made an engineer rethink things.
• Four lines of paper to write on before bed tonight.
• Insomnia: How worrying about sleep destroys us.
