I first heard of this book at church. My pastor gave sermons for about a year inspired by tings he read in the book! “Don’t sweat the small stuff” people were starting to say to each other jokingly because the pastor kept referring to it in his message so much. This finally perked my curiosity. I bought it and started reading it. It was filled with little words of advice. It focused on things that bother us as human beings and then the author turned these things into positive life lessons. I love this little book too. I see now why my pastor referred to it so much. He wanted us to become better people.

If you want a book that brings out the optimistic side of your personality, this is the one. The stories are humorous and touching. The lessons are ones that reflect good solid values and virtues. These are the kind of stories you can remember and talk with others about when the topic comes up. Richard Carlson is quite a storyteller and his stories are worth repeating.
