If you were to read everything that has ever been written about worry by the great scholars of all time, you would never read anything more basic or more profound than such hackneyed proverbs as “Don’t cross your bridges until you come to them” and “Don’t cry over spilt milk.” If we only applied those two proverbs-instead of snorting at them-we wouldn’t need this book at all. In fact, if we applied most of the old proverbs, we would lead almost perfect lives.
