Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...And It's All Small Stuff

Thought provoking...an excellent thing to remind yourself of the small things that add up to become big things and to keep your perspective...listened to over and over.

Much of it are things you have probably heard before. Dr. Carlson has a way of stating the information in a very sensible way. It's the kind of advice that is helpful to listen to every so often to remind us of what's important in life! I'll rent it again.

Although I didn't find Richard's voice stimulating, I did find his ideas to be. If you struggle with patience, tend to rush, and are generally prone to being frustrated, like myself, then you'll most likely enjoy (and be challenged by) this book. I identified with nearly every section, and realized that a lot of my so-called character traits (for which I formally dealt with by saying, "That's just the way I am) are actually daily, lifestyle choices. Now I know that I AM actually capable of choosing and living differently.

This set was very helpful to me. I tend to be an A-type who gets frustrated quite easily. Patience isn't one of MY virtues. Dr. Carlson, while sometimes a bit too chipper, definitely got a point (or two) across to me. Very helpful. I plan to check this one out again in 6 mos to get recharged. Recommend this for A-types who don't necessarily enjoy being such.
