- Alrighty, folks,
I'm Bob Schrupp, physical therapist.
- Brad Heineck, physical therapist.
- We are the most famous physical therapists
on the internet.
- In our opinion, of course, though.
- My microphone's on, by the way, isn't it, Liz?
Okay, good.
- We're clear?
- Today, we're talk about how to stop anxiety,
worry, and stress.
I was just worried about my microphone.
- Yeah.
- How to stop anxiety, worry, and stress,
and sleep like a baby.
So this is kind of cool
because it's a lot based on this book.
Right, Brad? You're gonna talk about.
- Right. We're gonna get into that.
- But I was actually a student of the Mayo Clinic,
and I worked at the Mayo Clinic.
And so, the Mayo brothers stated that,
at one point, Will and Charlie Mayo stated
that half of hospital stays were due to nervous troubles.
- Problems.
- Because of, yeah, how they manifested themselves.
- Right. Through people are typically anxiety,
worry, and stress, what the title is.
And if you can control that,
the body responds in such a positive way,
and sleep goes along with that.
- And vice versa,
if you don't control it,
it's amazing how it manifests itself.
I mean, you can actually, you know, the ulcers, and the-
- Right.
- I mean,
I knew a girl that, when I was really young,
she had had so many surgeries already,
and she was just this anxious person.
I swear that, you know, even carpal tunnel
and everything was coming because of her anxiety.
- Sure, sure.
- It was just a strange thing.

So this particular title and book,
I just wanted to share briefly a little experience I had
with a ton of stress, anxiety, in my life.
It was 18 years ago.
I was going through a divorce,
and you know, there's financial things going on,
personal things.
You're thinking about your children,
and in my case, my child.
- Yeah, it's one of the top three.
Isn't it? Stressors?
- Yeah. It was.
By far, I was stressed out big time.
And so I got this book by Dale Carnegie.
You know, it's not a recently written book,
but it's gonna show the test of time.
Everything in here relates to the human being
and how you relate to stress.
And it gives a number of answers on how to help control it.
- This is a classic,
and I've read it myself.
I've read a lot of his books by Dale Carnegie.
This one's called "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living."
- Correct.
- It was published in 1948.
- Right.
- But you know, these are principles that don't die.
- Right.
- You know, these are just as sound today
as they were back in 1948.
- And we were just discussing,
a lot of the newer books, the newer authors
that have the same topic.
- Concept.
Yep.
- They use the same.
They just rewrite rehash the same answers
that he set up,
just in their own experiences or their own words.
- Exactly.
Or they think they came up with it on their own,
but it was already done many years ago.
So I mean, this guy was the pioneer,
and really a fan.
I think they're fantastic books.
I really do.
I think they're really worthwhile.
- Right.
- You take the time
- You can't go wrong with the book
if you have some of these concerns,
and most everyone has these.
- Oh, everybody's got trouble with worry and stress.
- It's just part of life.
- And it's more than ever.
I mean, by far.
- It's how you control it.
- I was surprised.
You know, I've had three children
that go on to college now.
And the first child I took to college,
they were talking about anxiety and depression.
And I'm like,
you know, to me that was almost a foreign concept.
I never even hardly, you know, heard about that
among friends.
But they were saying 50% of the students
were making use of the counseling services.
- Oh.
- And I was like, wow.
- To manage stress?
- Yep. Yep.
- Mm hmm, sure.
- So it's a huge issue.
I mean--
- Right.
Yeah, for all ages.
You know?
Even in high school, as we know.
I just want to give an example.
This book gives an extreme.
This is one example in this book, since I read it,
I always think about this.
And his name was actual Earl P Haney.
This is back in the '20s.
Businessman, a lot of stress at work.
And he was taking all this stress into his body.
He got very ill with stomach ulcers.
They were having to pump his stomach on a daily basis.
He went from 175 pounds down to 90 pounds.
- Wow.
- I mean, he was basically skin and bones.
The doctors literally said,
"This is terminal.
You're not going to survive."
And he just said,
"Okay.
I'm...
- He's gonna prepare.
He wanted to do some traveling.
It said the doctors did not recommend it,
but he says,
"I'm gonna go on the ship,
and I'm gonna go as far as I can go."
And he literally bought a casket, and put it on the ship.
- Oh, he did?
- Yeah, he put it on the ship.
And he said, you know,
"If I passed away,
I want you to put my body in this casket
and put it in the cooler section."
- Wow.
- So that's what happened.
He went on the ship.
He left, and all of his worries were behind him.
He forgot about everything.
And within a few weeks, he start feeling better.
And he actually had a complete recovery.
He came back from his trip.
It was a number of months.
And he came back.
His weight was going back up.
He was starting to actually party
with the people on the ship.
And he went back into business.
- Wow.
- He went back into business, and--
- Hopefully with a different mindset.
- Right.
- He didn't worry as much.
It was a completely,
he was a different person.
He did not worry.
He realized that everything he was bottled up inside
about his businesses worries were completely
not productive,
and just tearing him apart.
- Okay.
Well, I get to tell a story too.
This one's a personal one.
So I was taking a master's degree class
in administration, health administration.
And I was really young,
and all the people in the class were older,
and they all had jobs
where they were managing like 50 people.
You know?
- Sure.
- So I was like the novice,
and didn't know what I was talking about.
And I had to give a speech in front of them,
and I'm like,
"I have to give a speech to these people?
They all are already accomplished."
- Sure.
- I mean, I was only in my 20s,
and that day, I literally got sick.
I mean, I was like, I'm going,
"I must have came down with the flu or something."
I mean, you know?
- Sure.
- So I go in.
I tough it out.
I give the speech.
I feel fine after that.
I mean, literally, it was just making me sick.
I mean, I know people have gone through that before,
but it's like, I was shocked at how bad I felt before,
and how good I felt afterwards.
- Right.
- So it's got a lot of hints.
Right?
- Right.
It's got some things to manage that,
as well as this Earl Haney
who had gotten so sick.
And just one of the strategies they use,
and they got a number of strategies,
and I've heard you talk about this one in the past
is live in day-tight compartments.
In other words, look at today.
Think about what you need to do today.
Don't think about what's gonna happen tomorrow,
what might happen tomorrow,
or what happened three weeks ago.
- Yeah.
I'm just gonna get through today.
- Right.
- I'm gonna deal with today.
They said Bill Clinton was going through this
when he was going through impeachment stuff.
- Sure.
- They said he was very good at com compartmentalizing.
- Right.
- So like,
you know, he is running the country.
- Right.
- And he could focus on that one area,
and he wouldn't worry about all the other things going on.
- Right.
Right.
- I mean, that's an incredible ability to do that.
- Right.
And they give examples on how, you know, suggestions--
- On how do that on how to do that?
- How to do that so you can get through the day,
and not come out of the day completely exhausted
from worry and anxiety.
- Sure.
Yeah.
It serves no purpose, unfortunately, worrying
unless it makes you take action.
- Right.
Right.
- And try to solve your problem or whatever it is.
So how many of these were sold, Brad?
- Over 6 million are sold in 36 different languages.
- So yeah, it's around the world.
- Right.
It is.
It's a fantastic book.
So once again, I'm thinking
this is also part of getting into our
- Yeah.
We can fix just about anything, except for
- A broken heart.
- But we're working on it.
- That's right.
- If stress is breaking your heart,
we'll get it fixed.
- There you go.

We do have it in our list of favorite products, by the way.
- List of favorite books?
