Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
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

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best Self-help book I've read...,
By
This review is from: Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...and it's All Small Stuff: Simple Ways to Keep the Little Things from Taking Over Your Life (Paperback)
This is an excellent self help book - for me, at any rate. it gives you 'permission' to NOT be assertive about everything. As someone who has been told to be more assertive, i found it demonstrates how being assertive about everything results in bad feeling for yourself and others, increased stress and lack of humour and calmness in life. There are many people in life who would do well to read it - sometimes less is more!
I agree that we shouldn't be complacent or have people walk all over us - but so often people have too great a sense of their own importance and seem to get upset by the fact that people don't always get as worked up about things as they do. Was also very sad to hear that the author died tragically young.

Just a great little book.,

This review is from: Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...and it's All Small Stuff: Simple Ways to Keep the Little Things from Taking Over Your Life (Paperback)
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.

"It's all common sense...",
By
This review is from: Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...and it's All Small Stuff: Simple Ways to Keep the Little Things from Taking Over Your Life (Paperback)
...but as we all know - There is naught as uncommon as common sense. Good book that probably won't result in a personal epiphany but will most certainly juggle a thought or two in your mind. Good as a gift for troubled souls.
