[Biju James · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is basically composed of three books- Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work, and Don't Sweat the Small Stuff about Money.
Carlson is the author of a whole series of the Don't Sweat books plus a few more. He died tragically at the age of 45, due to pulmonary embolism during a flight from San Francisco to New York.
This book is a nice collection of small essays (for want of a better word) about various things. Each of these essays are about two to three pages long.
I haven't read it cover to cover but I do open it at random or leaf through it and find something interesting.
Some tips from this book
1. Don't interrupt others. Most of the time we don't even notice we are doing it. Yes, seriously. And not only does it make the other person feel that they are being heard and appreciated, but you also will feel more relaxed.
2. Read stuff that have a totally different view from yourself to learn something new.
3. Take up yoga. I suppose a few moments of meditation in the AM or, as one of my classmates endorses, mindfulness can also make you more relaxed.
4. Don't say 'I have to go to work' as it has a subtle negative message
5. Cultivate humour and learn to smile.
6. Fight for your limitations (like saying I can't do this thing or that) and they will be yours
So if you want something on your table to pick up and read at random, this might be helpful. You might not agree with the stuff in the book- its all small stuff anyway. However, there might be a few pointers that might help you smile and feel more relaxed as you go along your way.

These type of books are not my favorite ones to read, though their messages are uplifting and wonderful and positive, they aren’t a page turner for me. Listening to them on audiobook prevents me from falling asleep.

Cultivating the virtues of kindness, patience, humility, and love are all Christlike traits and something I can always be reminded of to improve and do a little better in my own personal life. You can’t walk away from this book having not decided to try to be a little bit better of a person. One of my favorite takeaways from this book is when you’re in a situation that you might Feel is negative, step back and think to yourself “what can I learn from this?”

หยุดคิดเล็กคิดน้อย ให้ของที่มันเล็ก เล็กอยู่อย่างนั้น เพราะสิ่งที่เราคิด จะสะท้อนออกมาเป็นตัวตนของเรา ถ้าอยากให้นิ่ง (stay calm) อย่าให้กรวดก้อนเดียวทำให้เจ็บเท้า ความสัมพันธ์ของบุคคลก็เช่นกัน ให้ยกคำพูดเป็นเรื่องเล็ก อย่าถือเป็นเรื่องใหญ่แล้วเอามากระทบกับชีวิตเรา
ตอนนั้นอ่านเพราะโดนคำพูดจากคนที่ทำงานเล่นงาน ทำเอาสภาพจิตใจย่ำแย่เหมือนกัน เป็นช่วงที่ค่อนข้างจิตตกอยู่แล้ว เลยทำให้อาการยิ่งแย่เข้าไปใหญ่ สุดท้ายหนังสือก็ไม่ได้ช่วยอะไรเท่าไรอยู่ดี (ตอนนั้นยังไม่ได้เข้าปรึกษาจิตแพทย์)

[Jed · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book pretty much lives up with the title. I took my time reading this because it's more of a self-realization book rather than a self-help. If you set your eyes on a certain goal and little things seem to bother you, then I suggest you read this book. Immediately. =)

[Nutsareeya Fah · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best vibe book I've ever read!

Feel good! Feel bright! Feel Fresh!

It made for someone who lost their ways along the journey of life.

If you're finding something to make you feel happier, read it!

Richard did the best work for us, don't miss it.

Suggested book!

Sad to end this book. Took me so long to end coz i previously read 1 subject a week then lockdown came, i read 1 subject every morning... this book serves as my reminder aside from the bible i read together with this. Now i have to find another one to uplift me every morning 😘

[Rea Antonette · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love that this book is easy to read. Since each chapter is written succinctly, it's perfect for daily reflection. I don't 100% agree with everything that's written here but some lessons have helped me get through tough times so I'm still giving it 4 stars.

[M · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a short book on how to cultivate our inner peace through small acts in everyday situation. Words of wisdom we can easily forget ad we rush through our daily lives and to do lists days on end.

I just wish there can be some (or more) mentioning on setting boundaries and self love too.

[Deanna · Rating 4 out of 5]

This omnibus includes the books:
◾Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff… and it’s all Small Stuff
◾Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff at Work
◾Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff about Money


"When you ‘don’t sweat the small stuff,’ your life won’t be perfect, but you will learn to accept what life has to offer with far less resistance.”

Carlson takes us through a large variety of strategies that will help us to live more peacefully and harmoniously by letting go and not sweating the small stuff. Each one is thought-provoking and helpful, and I found this book to be very useful.
