#1 national bestselling author of Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff is back with a fresh, innovative book that offers simple, practical advice that has the power to transform lives

All of us are looking for practical ways to take control of our lives, whether in our personal relationships, our families, our work, our health, or our future plans. The good news is that the answers are out there, and they are easier than we might expect.

In Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff, Richard Carlson taught millions of readers worldwide that by taking a step back and gaining true perspective they could prevent the unimportant details from taking over their lives. Now, Carlson demonstrates how making the slightest positive change can make all the difference. The direction we are frantically looking for can be ours if we simply make small adjustments and get our lives back on course and face daily challenges unimpeded. With his trademark storytelling and advice, Carlson offers forty proven and easy ways to change how we think and act that will make a mountain of difference in our lives.
