Product ReviewsDon't Sweat the Small Stuff ... and It's All Small Stuff : Simple Ways to Keep the Little Things from Taking over Your Life by Richard Carlson (1997, Trade Paperback)

Great Advice!!!

Several years ago, I was going through a lot with family and work. One of my co-workers gave me this book as a present. It really helped me! There is so much great advice given in this book. A few years ago, my best friend showed up on my door step, because her husband and she had a really bad fight. Of course, I told her my house is her house, and she could stay as long as she needed to. A few days later, I was cleaning and came across my book given to me by my co-worker. I gave it to my dear friend and told her how much it helped me. The next day when I came home from work, she told me how much she enjoyed reading this book. She said it really opened her eyes and her mind. It wasn't long after that her and her husband were back together. Now, I'm not saying this is the answer to all of the problems people have, but it does give you a better perspective as how to handle things. Since then, I have bought a few more copies of this book, and gave them as presents to my friends.Read full review...

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff and it's all small stuff

The mini-chapters (1-3 pages) make it easy to get the author's point and to see how t make almost immediate application of the concepts to life. The book seems to follow this theme: Minimize your self-misguided anxiety and maximize your joy of living. The book is short enough to refer back to frequently for a refresher course on how to live a more peaceful life.

I decided to buy my own copy after reading through some of the chapeters while waiting in a doctor's office lobby.Read full review...

Stop Sweating the Small Stuff

i've had this book before, so I remembered it. I like this book. it's a good read. I really do agree with this title of this book. my ex-husband & my current boyfriend are the type of men that "Constantly" Sweat the Small Stuff, when there really is NO Need to do so. It frustrates me to great lengths. I keep my mouth shut, cus showing them how much they frustrate me, doesn't help matters either. Thank God my ex-husband has been completely out of my life since November 29th, 2000. but my Current Bf..well....I Love Him, but he's driving me Crazy. I'm Hoping that this book will help him to see the error of his ways before it's too late. Life is Way Too Short to sweat the small stuff. People. just Let it Go, Let it All Go. You'll be much Happier & Stress Free if you would just Stop sweating the small stuff.Read full review...

Effective, Simple and to the Point Reading

This author wrote 2 other similar books (don't sweat the small stuff at work/with family. I liked this one the best. Each topic is about 2 pages, simple and gets to the point. There are situations where everyone reads and goes....I've been in that spot. Its very good advice on how to learn what to do and think in stressful situations. A family member wanted to read my copy and I bought them their own copy because I believe its a good book to keep for reference. Every now and then I go back and refresh my memory of the lessons.Read full review...

This book really changed my life

There are other titles by the same author but I liked this book the best. It really changed my life. Especially where it says to do nice deeds for other people (simple things like pay the bridge toll for the stranger in the car behind you) but don't tell anyone about your good deeds. That way the good feeling stays inside you. It really works. The book is simple to read in short chapters so you can read it in small spurts when you only have a few minutes.Read full review...

very good book

This book is like a wake-up call for me about many things - the things out of which I have been wasting my time, emotions, and energy to make a big deal. The book is divided into 100 parts; each part is short but concise, teaching me how to relax in daily interactions with other people, how to nurture your thoughts and emotions in very easier and healthier ways. With just a little bit change in your attitudes, you can change your whole life. It's true. I've read this book at a bookstore, and then I decided to buy it because I want to read it over again and again. I want every idea of the book to go deeply into my mind and my heart. I want to apply each idea in my daily life ( do not just to read and get the idea and then totally forget when you close the book). This book is one of the most meaningful and useful tools I can use to serve my ultimate goal of life: seeking a peace in mind, always!Read full review...
