This book is a small book, that left a lasting impression with me. Unfortunately, I am more pessimistic than optimistic, and the big stuff in my life I get through, but the small stuff I definitely sweat. This book is great, because it gives you a kick in the pants with real life stories, that remind you to stop taking yourself so seriously. This book is an easy read, one that I find myself going back to several times a year, to remind myself to stop sweating the small stuff. Unlike other motivational books, this one is worth the money, and will leave you in a good mindset to get through the daily grind of your life. I highly recommend this book.
