Don't Sweat the Small Stuff - Richard Carlson

In this book of Carlson, he gives 100 topics to ponder about. It is all pretty clear and in a way nice to have it all together as a reminder.

He wrote multiple versions:

  • Don't Sweat the Small Stuff.... in life
  • Don't Sweat the Small Stuff.... in your love life
  • Don't Sweat the Small Stuff.... in your family life
  • Don't Sweat the Small Stuff.... at work

I think you get the point.

My take-aways are: Be nice and try to keep on being nice, check what is really important and become more patient.

My take-aways in a practical sense, yesterday I didnt like it that somebody didnt try to make an appointment for me, she just said no, not possible. Someone else checked and the other lady still said, no it is not possible. At the end it was possible and I thanked both ladies, even though I didnt feel like thanking them both. Life isnt always easy for everyone. I thought it might make a change... since the power I gave back was love and a smile. It will always win!
