Summary: A book to be shared
Review: This book was loaned to me while I was flying from Arizona to Michigan for a family visit. It is one of the best books I have ever read and it has certainly changed my life for the better. I plan on giving this book as a gift to each of my family members for Christmas (all nine of them) and to anybody else I think can use it. If it is not shared with someone you love then it is wasted. People who don't get anything out of this book are the people who need it the most.

Summary: Great book for these trying times.
Review: This is a great stressbuster of a book. It makes us look into ourselves and realize that we worry too much and are so preoccupied with thing that really don't matter at all. Helped me gain better perspective in life

Summary: A refreshing reminder
Review: Don't Sweat gives a gentle tug to the spirit helping to remind it of things so simple they can sometimes be forgotten. There is nothing 'new' in this book but that's what makes it so wonderful. Worth the price of admission.

Summary: Simple possibilities for a complicated world!
Review: I think the main thing that struck me when I read this book was that it makes clear the reality that our lives ARE made up of small incidences that we continually turn into major events. I would suggest that people read it, for both advice and the reality that stress is not an affliction, but rather a simple burden we can each either choose to carry or put down.The book does a great job highlighting real situations with the possibility and results of the authors' perceived options in those situations.

Summary: What a blessing!
Review: A friend gave me this book last year for Christmas, and it has been a real help. I read one of the chapters each time I have the chance, and find Dr. Carlson's gentle insights to be a grand source of peace, hope and anti-crabbiness. It is very simple, and that's the beauty of the thing. You don't need a doctorate in "self help" to understand and benefit from this book, just an open mind and the ability to recognize the need for growth. I work in a setting where many people come with problems and stress. I have recommended this gem to several of them, and each person has come back grateful and inspired by it. Although rather a cheap skate, I have also purchased a number of copies as gifts for friends and family, which shows how much I treasure its contents! Obviously, different people will be helped and touched by different approaches, but as a person who often suffers from being too tense, too stressed out, too much focussed on thought rather than feelings, I can honestly say that "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" has been the best dose of peace and happiness I have ever come across.

Summary: Idealist frames of reference from the fifties - applicable t
Review: Uplifting, good, quick, bathroom reading material. These are things one should have learned from parents and grandparents of the 50's; but very applicable to the 90's.Society would be in better shape if everyone read & practiced these principles.Too much of a good thing is forgotten.Read in small doses in order to digest.

Summary: This book will change your life...no sweat!
Review: This book will truly change your life if you let it. Each two-page chapter focuses on a different way to simplify your life, from "Make Peace with Imperfection" to "Look Beyond Behavior," each one moving in its own right. Nearly every sentance in the book is worthy of posting on the proverbial refrigerator door; you will read it again and again and be more enlightened each time. Let go of your frustrations and quit sweating all the small stuff--it really works, and it really is all small stuff.

Summary: Just... Crap...
Review: This is a very very unimportant book which can be figured out by common sense. It is, in my mind, for simple minded kids whose lollipops just got snatched away. Not for adults.
Rating:
Summary: same old same old over and over
Review: Common sense type stuff. Ten pages would tell it all. A waste of money, except for the title.
