    You must read this book!

    This book is very inspiring for me and it made me realize the small stuff that I get upset about is not worth all that wasted energy. I used this book when I start to get irk about the small stuff to not get to me.

    Hardcover cheaper than Nook edition

    This book is mostly fluffy stuff, but somewhat fun to read. Anyway, the hardcover edition is much cheaper in store than the Nook edition.

It offers 100 meditations designed to make us appreciate being alive, keep our emotions in proper perspective, and cherish other people as the miracles they are.

    Good stuff

    I picked up a few clues about letting go off issues that will not make a difference in the long run. Don't Sweat the Small Stuff is a worthwhile read if you tend to take life too seriously and get hung up on minor issues. If you want to make the most of your life and any and every situation, I recommend Optimal Thinking: How To Be Your Best Self.

    Just a great little book.

    I got this book for Christmas and really like it. I haven't finished it yet as I kept it in the bathroom 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 its a book to '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.

    Wonderful Book of Great Ideas & Strategies

    This is an excellent book of small sections, 100 of them, with ideas and strategies for making life more pleasant. A wonderfully enjoyable read and well suited for gift-giving and also for bedside table placement because you can read a section so quickly. Classic!

    Life Saver

    This book has had an amazing influence on the way I look at life. It teaches you to love everday to the fullest. It also teaches to recognize the important things in life and to focus on them instead of stressing about small stuff.

    Simple Yet Powerful - Great Book!

    Simple yet powerful! This is a great book! Some people fault him for being too simple...but I think they are wrong...And I think Dr. Carlson DOES GET IT! I really enjoy reading this book. IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD. I have a better day when I read it. I highly recommend it! READ IT! ANOTHER GREAT BOOK THAT ALSO TALKS ABOUT AWARENESS as the approach to healing and transforming your life is the new book by the Kanes...Also simple - - YET PROFOUND!!! I have met the Kanes and they are the two most self-realized people I have ever met! They have had a profound influence on my life. READ THEIR BOOK!

    Breaks it down to bite size pieces (small stuff) to grab through out your day.

    The material in this book provides sound advice and perspective to help manage stress, anxiety, and anger. What I especially enjoy (on my nook) is you can quickly access the table of contents, pick a chapter heading with a title that catches your eye, and instantly get the bit of inspiration one needs from a snapshot reading. Back to your day, with a new set of eyes and the refreshing shot of literary expresso needed to focus your mind and heart.

    For those who need a little reminder.

    I purchased this book for a friend but I perused the pages and it is a decent self help book. This book is recommended for people who need that little reminder to do what the title states, "Don't sweat the small stuff." Sometimes people just need that little push in the right the direction and this book is that tiny shove in the right direction.

    Some good advice

    Book gives helpful, common sense on how to live a simpler more fulfilling life. The advice inspires to think positive and proactive. Seems to be repetitive in some spots but leaves the reader feeling good.

    Wonderful lesson in life we must remember

    We all experience the ups and downs of everyday life. At times, the downs can overwhelm us to the point where we forget to count our blessings. Thanks to Dr. Carlson, I was reminded to focus on the positive aspects of this existence and minimize the negative thoughts. Result? A sense of inner peace.
