Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff and It’s All Small Stuff
Simple Ways to Keep the Little Things from Taking Over Your Life
About the book
The method Richard Carlson offers is a set of small daily changes in perspective meant to keep minor irritations from taking over a hurried, stressful life. His advice includes items such as choosing battles wisely, making peace with imperfection, doing one thing at a time and treating problems as potential teachers. One reminds readers that their in box will still hold work on the day they die. He also suggests writing down the positions one holds most stubbornly to see whether they can soften, along with living in the present moment, letting others have the glory sometimes and trusting intuition. His stated aim is a calmer life with more peaceful and caring actions.
