"This, like other works by the same author is well worth the reading. Leaves the reader in a healthier attitude both physically and mentally." -Table Talk "Wise and helpful observations of a man who has in the past, under the pressure of unhappy conditions, worried himself into most serious illness, from which a long, difficult recovery was made.Mr. James does not fail to realize that one must actively fill the mind with something else to take the place of the worry - indeed, he has words of very practical wisdom and comfort for each and every kind of worrier - but the first and the last of all is: 'Quit!'" -Forecast "Helpful material.will be appreciated by those who are afflicted with this curse." -The Homiletic Review "There is much more of good common sense in this little volume than its title might at first suggest.It considers worries of different kinds, and gently counsels a general avoidance of all worry as unnecessary and health destroying.

" -Atlantic Educational Journal "Sane, practical and helpful, the work of a man driven insane by worry himself at one time and who fought his way back to the serenity he preaches, it cannot fail to help the reader to quit his futile, wasteful worrying." -The Public "This book is written in a sensible, straightforward fashion and is plentifully sprinkled with touches of humor. It discusses the various causes of worry and gives suggestions for their banishment. You can't change a worrying person suddenly into a well-poised, serene person, but the author believes that with faith in God, trust, and naturalness, we can slough off worry like the dead skin of the serpent and find the way of highest achievement." -The American Review of Reviews "Mr. James speaks earnestly and convincingly as to the possibility of deliberately overcoming the habit and entering on a more enjoyable and profitable stage of life. He knows this is not done by simply saying 'Don't worry,' and therefore puts his title more emphatically, with the command to quit, followed up by the kind of talk that helps." -The Unitarian Register "This straightforward tackling of a bad habit in the lives of men and women will be helpful to many who have drifted into it when under pressure.

Worry is a habit easily acquired, and overcome only with difficulty. Mr. James tells how it may be overcome and how poise may be maintained, and as worry shows inadequacy to meet the world's demands, so a maintained poise against worry implies efficiency. Mr. James treats his subjects from many angles, always tenderly and wisely. Surely a worrier will be much helped by a study of his methods." -Record of Christian Work CONTENTS FOREWORD I THE CURSE OF WORRY II OURS IS THE AGE OF WORRY III NERVOUS PROSTRATION AND WORRY IV HOLY WRIT, THE SAGES AND WORRY V THE NEEDLESSNESS AND USELESSNESS OF WORRY VI THE SELFISHNESS OF WORRY VII CAUSES OF WORRY VIII PROTEAN FORMS OF WORRY IX HEALTH WORRIES X THE WORRIES OF PARENTS XI MARITAL WORRIES XII THE WORRY OF THE SQUIRREL CAGE XIII RELIGIOUS WORRIES AND WORRIERS XIV AMBITION AND WORRY XV ENVY AND WORRY XVI DISCONTENT AND WORRY XVII COWARDICE AND WORRY XVIII WORRY ABOUT MANNERS AND SPEECH XIX THE WORRIES OF JEALOUSY XX THE WORRIES OF SUSPICION XXI THE WORRIES OF IMPATIENCE XXII THE WORRIES OF ANTICIPATION XXIII HOW OUR WORRY AFFECTS OTHERS XXIV WORRY VERSUS INDIFFERENCE XXV WORRIES AND HOBBIES.
