I had heard of this title and somehow decided that I was fine and didn't need the advice it contained. I stumbled upon it at a yard sale, and for $.50 thought I might as well add it to my library, even THEN not really intending to read it! A few weeks later I was getting agitated over the kids dawdling over breakfast and almost totally lost my patience when my 7 year old spilled milk on my shoes. My 14 year old grabbed a rag and said, "Mom? why you sweatin' the small stuff?" I was astonished when she pulled "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...And It's All Small Stuff" out of her backpack and handed it to me! I spent the next couple days lazily reading, allowing each point to linger and make itself at home, until guess what? I realized that I DID have a lot to learn! I am so very much happier now than ever before, now that I understand that It's All Small Stuff! READ THE BOOK!
