Synopsis

New Soft cover BRAND NEW. LAID-IN: Author's obituary, San Francisco Chronicle. In the Introduction, the author quotes William James, "The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude." Towards this end, stress consultant Richard Carson (1961 - 2006) offers the two rules of harmony stated in the title: #1) Don't sweat the small stuff, and #2) It's all small stuff. With gentle persuasion, mutiple commonsense ideas, examples, and suggestions, Carlson guides the reader, firmly but surely, towards becoming a more peaceful and loving person. Among the 100 essays are : Allow Yourself to be Bored; Imagine the People in Your Life as Tiny Infants and as One-Hundred-Year-Old Adults; Praise and Blame Are All the Same; Just for Fun, Agree with Criticism Directed Toward You (Then Watch It Go Away); Mind Your Own Business; and, Choose Being Kind over Being Right. Book also available in Braille. Fine copy; you will find that Richard Carlson is truly your best friend.

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.
