Don't Sweat the Small Stuff . . . and It's All Small Stuff: Simple Ways to Keep the Little Things from Taking Over Your Life by Richard Carlson

1.0

Got to about the half way mark in this, around the third time the author mentioned how much he hates/judges punk rockers as an example to be less judgmental. Uh, doesn't sound like it's workin', buddy, if you're so worked up about it? I can't imagine what he thinks of farther leftist ideas if colored hair sends him into such a spiral. Not to mention this is the most redundant book I've ever read. He used the same Mother Theresa quote twice! Piss-poor editing is an understatement. I just skimmed the rest, confirming that he repeats entire sections, only slightly changing his wording to hound his readers about the same basic CBT therapy techniques that are Googleable for anyone with an Internet connection. If you have even the slightest bit of knowledge in the realm of mental health, don't bother with this. If you don't, Google CBT therapy instead of reading this book. I can't believe I tried to read it two times.
