I recommend people read "How to stop worrying and start living" too...for the times when things are bad. Some brillliant stress (and, thus, self) management tips in there....those two books, while basic, have been hugely helpful to me. Carnegie reminds me of a Warren Buffet - minus the billions of dollar but replete with homespun truths and sensible advice. PS I think first comment is spot on. Key thing is thinking about such matters at all and that process itself is beneficial. Dale Carnegie’s book is, despite being ancient, brilliant.

Even if none of the ideas of a book are adopted, this is a useful exercise in itself.
