Rating: Summary: Lives up to its title. Review: "Don't Worry, Make Money" by Richard Carlson really does provide insights into spiritual and practical ways to create more fun and abundance. It's a handy-sized book with short chapters (1-3 pages) that are clear and crisp. I got the feeling that the author cares about people and is really excited about sharing the things that have made his life fuller. My favorite chapter was #15: "Remind Yourself that Your Life Begins Now." Carlson reminds the reader that the past holds no power over our present UNLESS we give it power. "Operate as if all the power in your life begins and ends in this moment."I have found that living in the present really does provide me with an inexplicable level of satisfaction and well-being which go hand in hand with abundance. The idea is daunting to the mind, but if you're really curious about living fully after reading this book, then grab a copy of "Working on Yourself Doesn't Work, a Book About Instantaneous Transformation," by Ariel and Shya Kane. This book is about having a magnificent life and nothing less. The three principles of transformation the Kanes talk about touched me so profoundly that I HAVE discovered my own magnificence. No kidding! Just by being in the moment, life becomes magical.
Rating: Summary: This book has help change my life! Review: "Don't Worry, Make Money" is one of the most insightful books I have ever read. Dr. Carlson truly understands the way fear and worry can limit a person's life. This book is NOT a finical guide or a get rich quick book. In fact, "Don't Worry, Live Better" would probably be a better title. I can honestly say that this book has helped me overcome fears that have plagued me my entire life and the difference in my life is amazing!

Rating: Summary: Informative yes - New no Review: Although some of the pages in the book read like another famous author's spiritual guide, I still enjoyed this book. Spiritual laws have become commonplace on bestseller lists, but they never get old.
Rating: Summary: IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ORIGINAL THOUGHT, KEEP LOOKING. Review: Carlson started his writing career as an editor, then as a solicitor. He got leading self-help authors to contribute articles to form books. The only difference is that he now paraphrases good advice instead of quoting. He then pacakages it into his consistant 100 fragmented-pieces format, with no glue or system to make them stick in a person's life. His books are merely lame survey reports on other peoples' work. Even his title is a rip off. He is the new king of self-help junk food. He's the one not worrying and making money. . . off of readers looking for quick-fix, warm-and-fuzzy (but hollow) advice on success. The real contents of the book should be how he found a book-writing system to get rich via empty cleverness. The only good things in his books are from the original thoughts of others, thus the 2 stars instead of none.
Rating: Summary: Every long journey begins with one step... Review: discovering new ways to deal with life and improving your health/wealth can usually be one of the most complicated roads to take... only if your mind resists the journey. taking the journey to success requires an open/sincere/clear mind, and this book can get you started with these essentials before commencing your very own journey. a great thing about this book is that it outlines each concept in a 2/3 page chapter... therefore easing the reading/understanding process. additionally, the language is simple and includes many interesting stories to accompany the concepts. don't buy this book thinking it will resolve all your problems in one day... this is simply a starting point for a lengthy journey, which can be as fruitful as you desire/think it to be... just remember that walking the path is very different from knowing the path, so don't expect someone to give you a map... you have to walk your own destiny and discover your own means of success through the use of the "essentials" in this book. be well...

Rating: Summary: Fabulous! Ordinary information offered in a refreshing way Review: I am loving Dr. Carlson's book. I am already familiar with much of the content. His telling of the content, however, is inspirational, validating and personally transformational. A must read for entrepreneurs!
Rating: Summary: if you are stupid, you will appreciate this book, otherwise Review: I gave Don't sweat the small stuff 5 stars but this book seemed forced. Like the author was trying to meet a deadline and hence filled a book with junk. I could have written this, damn, why didn't I? I am sorry I spent any money on it.
