Reviews

Gr. 9-12. A riveting motivational writer with several books for adults (Don't Sweat the Small Stuff . . . in love, at work, etc.) targets his "small stuff" concepts around teen issues, and the results are impressive. Without talking down to his readers or minimizing the intensity of difficulties they may be handling, he offers 100 insightful suggestions for dealing with everything from stress to recognizing the meaningful contributions in every moment of life. His message will surely resonate with teens, even those who are skeptical or uncertain about how reframing their thinking can change their lives. Carlson clearly holds teens in high regard in this small book with a big heart. Roger Leslie
