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!

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.

Summary: This book may be this author's best work...
Review: If Richard Carlson writes something, I'm going to make it a point
to read it . . . His DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF is one of
my all-time favorite books, and I also learned from what followed
this effort (DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF AT WORK, DON'T
SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF FOR MEN and WHAT ABOUT THE BIG
STUFF?).I had not previously read one of his earlier efforts, DON'T WORRY, MAKE MONEY, so when a friend asked me if I wanted to borrow it, I said "yes" with great enthusiasm . . . and I'm glad that I did . . . this well might be the best book he ever wrote, but then again, I find myself thinking that after finishing whatever he has written. DON'T WORRY is much more than about how to make money . . . its
subtitle perhaps says it all: SPIRITUAL WAYS TO CREATE
ABUNDANCE AND MORE FUN IN YOUR LIFE . . . I got soooo
many fine ideas here, ranging from dealing with stress caused
by my finances to marketing myself professionally--and a whole
lot in-between. You may not become a millionaire after reading DON'T WORRY;
however , you'll get a lot of practical ways as to what you need
to do to take the first step. There were many worthwhile passages; among them:
Over and over again I hear people telling me about the book they are going to write, the savings account they are about to open, the business they are going to start, or the charity they are planning to help. But, in many instances, these plans and dreams keep getting put off until "the conditions are right." One of the most powerful messages I can share with you, one that I'm absolutely certain of, is this: In almost all cases, the conditions you are waiting for will not be significantly different next week or next year. Don't worry that the conditions have to be perfect. The truth is, you are still going to have to take the first step! If you take it now,
instead of later, you'll be many steps closer to your dreams by
this time next year. My only word of caution is to be sure to get permission before
offering your help. Be gentle and patient. Not everyone wants
or is ready for help. And that's okay. Don't take it personally.
Everyone is at a different place in their life. Consider the amount of mental and emotional energy expended
in commiseration. It's a lot. This is energy that could be spent in creative ideas or quiet reflection. This is energy that might be used to solve a problem, implement an idea or market a product. This energy is the source of your abundance. It's yours, and it's free. When you make the decision to stop commiserating, you free up this energy--instantly. New thoughts begin to emerge; new, exciting ideas rise to the surface.
