Pithy good advice for a bad day but nothing you didn't already know, just need to remember when your perspective is getting you down.

If you're a free-thinker, be sure to give this book a chance before you think it's a bunch of bunk. Carlson's simple and direct advice is hartfelt enough that it's worth having a go at.

Don't be Type A

This small book was a number one bestseller for it seems like forever in the late `90s. It is a collection of small bits of advice on how to stay stress free and not to "sweat the small stuff." It's nicely written and provides a lot of food for thought on how not to stress out over things that, in the scheme of things, are not that important. Stress causes a lot of illness and health problems, which is partially the point of the book. By following some of this sage advice one can live a healthier … more

About this book

Wiki

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.
