Summary "Why Worry?" by George Lincoln Walton, M.D. is a self-help publication written in the early 20th century. The book addresses the pervasive issue of worry and offers practical advice aimed at helping individuals overcome this harmful tendency. Walton discusses various forms of worry, including hypochondria and obsessive thoughts, and outlines methods for achieving a more tranquil state of mind. The opening of "Why Worry?" establishes the framework for understanding the detrimental effects of excessive worry on mental and physical well-being. Walton begins by emphasizing that worry is a common issue and is often based on misguided thoughts and fears. He introduces key concepts such as normal vs. abnormal worry and cautions readers against trying to directly eliminate worry without understanding its underlying causes. Instead, he suggests that gradual efforts to redirect one's focus and improve one's thought patterns can lead to healthier mental habits and increased effectiveness in daily life. The actionable and down-to-earth principles outlined in this beginning set the stage for practical suggestions throughout the book aimed at fostering a more balanced and peaceful mind.
