The best of the best from the publishing phenomenon Don't Sweat the Small Stuff -- in time for the series' tenth anniversary! When Richard Carlson wrote Don't Sweat the Small Stuff in January 1997, he had no way of knowing it would be the beginning of an unrivaled publishing success story. The book was the #1 New York Times bestseller for two full years, an unprecedented feat, and to date has more than nine million copies in print. A series of Don't Sweat books followed, each garnering impressive sales in their own right. Now, in time for the tenth anniversary of that first publication, Carlson has created The Big Book of Small Stuff, a best-of collection drawn from the series. It features pieces beloved by Calrson and his millions of fans, classic tales of inspiration and success like: Make Peace with Imperfection, Allow Yourself to Be Bored, Praise and Blame Are All the Same, See the Innocence, and more.

Several helpful ideas here that I am attempting to practice in my everyday life: (1) Make allowances for incompetence....Let it go that others don't work as hard as you do. (2) Stop exchanging horror stories....Does everyone do this? Does everyone tell your spouse, your children, your friends all the awful parts of your day? And how does that help? (3) Be 99% gossip free...Hard one for me. I love the juicy stories. But I've found that gossip is dangerous when you work and live in the same town as most of your relatives and friends. Got to work on this one.
