Amazon.co.uk Review
What a fantastic handbook! If you work eight, 10 or even 15 hours a day, feel unappreciated, stressed-out and generally ground down by the nine to five rat-race, then you need Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work. It's packed from cover to cover with superb stress-busting advice, and it's also a fascinating insight into the challenges and traumas of everyday working life. Written by Dr Richard Carlson, who has a series of similar works to his name, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work contains one hundred bite-size chapters with titles such as Eliminate the Rat Race Mentality, Don't Dramatize Deadlines, Stop Anticipating Tiredness, Don't Sweat the Demanding Boss, Give up Your Fear of Speaking to Groups and Learn to Delegate.
Dr Carlson's advice is witty as well as informative, and he never slips into the platitudes or home-spun philosophy that similar works fall prey to. In fewer than 300 small pages, he tells you how to transform your negative outlook on work into a positive and fulfilling one. Commuting can become a breeze, heavy workloads an opportunity to gain success, and the daily dilemmas of office life can turn into new forms of motivation. Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work is a dynamic, solution-based handbook, and it's also a delightfully portable paperback, perfect for your handbag or briefcase. Read and be relieved!- -Lucas LoBlack
Product Description
Most people spend at least 40 hours a week in the office, and constant deadlines, heavy workloads, and daily dilemmas can make working a stressful experience. In his new book, Richard Carlson shows readers how to interact more peaceably and joyfully with colleagues, clients and bosses. He reveals tips such as planning what you’re going to say in a meeting or presentation, taking a deep breath before reacting to a co-worker’s criticism, and asking for a raise in the most effective way possible. Transforming your outlook at the office will not only ease stress in the workplace, it will also lead to a happier life at home. Written in Carlson’s warm, appealing style, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff at Work is certain to be an inspirational bestseller to the thousands who loved his previous books.

Unlike most lifestyle works 'Don't Sweat The Small Stuff at Work' can be read in soundbites in spare minutes. Every soundbite is a nugget; even after dipping in for only a few minutes the reader is left feeling that they will change something about their life at work.
From handling deadlines and daring to be happy (challenging many hard work doctrines) to developing our confidence to develop a human way of managing rather than continuing the accepted rat race approach this covers a wide range os issues. I particularly liked the doctrine of spending ten minutes each day doing absolutely nothing - this is now my most productive time.
Developed from his initial 'Don't sweat the small stuff' aimed at home life, Richard Carlson has become a household name to millions who now dare to achieve more but with less stress; both in their personal and work lives. I strongly recommend the series of books if you want to take back control of your life.

I bought this book after someone recommended his work to me. I run a company which means having to deal with many different clients at anyone time, most of which have no concept of how work is created and turned around. Because of this and the fact that we had recently undergone a restructure, the pressure and the number of clients had increased.
This book helps you restructure your day and more importantly your thinking towards clients and other collegues. This book didn't get the work done for me (unfortunately) but it did help me work more productively, give me great ideas on how to deal with clients and other members of staff and helped to not let the little things cause me stress and more often than not, anger!
