Quit Your Worrying!
Produced by the Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"Quit Your Worrying!" by George Wharton James is a self-help book written in the early 20th century. The author, who appears to have been deeply affected by personal experiences of distress caused by worry, seeks to guide readers toward a mindset free of anxiety and fear. The main topic revolves around the nature of worry, its origins, and detrimental effects on both mental and physical health, while offering practical advice on how to overcome this pervasive issue. The opening portion introduces the author’s personal struggles with worry, detailing how they led to severe mental distress, ultimately teaching him the importance of relinquishing such burdens. James emphasizes that worry is a product of materialism and human anxieties, primarily afflicting Western cultures. He argues that, unlike many cultures that seem to live in more peace and acceptance, the Western mindset is laden with unnecessary stress. In his foreword and first chapter, he encourages readers to recognize the futility of worry, promoting a philosophy that advocates for trust in God's care and the necessity to replace worry with a focus on positive thoughts and actions to achieve serenity in life.
