Got a stress case in your life? Of course you do: Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things all at once. Carlson s cheerful book aims to make us stop and smell--if not roses--whatever is sitting in front of our noses. Don t Sweat the Small Stuff... offers 100 meditations designed to make you appreciate being alive, keep your emotions (especially anger and dissatisfaction) in proper perspective, and cherish other people as the unique miracles they are. It s an owner s manual of the heart, and if you follow the directions, you will be a happier, more harmonious person. Like Stairmasters, oat bran and other things that are good for you, the meditations take discipline. Even so, some of the strategies are kind of fun: Imagine the people in your life as tiny infants and as 100-year-old adults. The trouble is, once you start, it s hard to stop. --Amazon.com

Excellent - If wisdom is measured in pearls then this book is a great big necklace!!I really enjoyed reading what is in essence a common sense guide to surviving in the big bad world of today.Richard Carlson brings us 100 little chapters of groundedness.Become more patient,have quiet time every day,look beyond behaviour,breathe before you speak,cut yourself some slack,more is not better............................................I cannot recommend this book highly enough.Read it at least twice!!

Just a great little book. - I got this book for Christmas and really like it. I haven t finished it yet as I keep it in the living room and read it here and there. And I must say, it s a very motivating, umcomplicated self-help book. It s not the kind you have to sit down and read cover to cover either, rather it s a book you sample a few pages of- as the book is divided up into very short stories, each containing a gem of wisdom. A classic that lives on, I give it 5 stars for its timeless values and inspiration. Readers interested in other inspirational books might also like The Sixty-Second Motivator as well.

Don t sweat the small stuff! - A strightforward theory, but one I didn t believe would work. I have recently gone through a divorce, and this book helped me to keep things in perspective. A little gem!

This book changed my life - I ve always wanted to be serene, and after reading this book - over a decade ago - I took the first big step towards that goal: I realised that, instead of being annoyed at people who did things I disliked, I could feel compassion towards them.This lesson has served me well through and has helped me to grow up. I am very sorry to learn of the author s early death, and agree that his life helps to underpin the lessons his book teaches.

Wonderful Big Little Book - This little book has changed my life. I have owned it for over 4 years, and re-read it from time to time. It keeps me focused, calm, and helps me cope with the huge amounts of stress I am under. A true gem!
