Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work Review: Great book - When I started therapy, I was dealing with a lot of stress at work. Unfortunately, I can't change the circumstances as it's a coworker. This book has opened my eyes more to the fact that I do burn myself out for work, and I am a people pleaser, so I will do everything I can for everyone else and put myself last. It's not going to change overnight but I am going to start putting myself first in some situations because mental health is important and I will say this job has changed me in some good ways and some bad. It is hard to juggle working full time and selling stuff and cleaning houses. I also do school full time, and I think with school and work this past semester, it was a lot, and I am not sure how I managed to survive it. I did take a semester off because two in a row was too much to think of a third, and I want the summer to work on myself. Try exercising like I used to, and I have been trying to walk two miles a day. I feel like everyone should read this book. It doesn't just help in work life it also gives you ideas of how to help in your personal life. I'm actually going to read the book about "Don't sweat the small stuff about money next. I think that will help me as I'm only going to be 25 and there's still a lot I probably don't know about money. I can relate to how busy the author says he is, and I also worry a lot. I don't really have help with selling stuff or at work. I get 1000 things tossed on me a day at work, and unfortunately, my coworker isn't much help. I'm just trying to survive this crazy thing called life. I have learned from a younger age not to react. There's a different co-worker that can be rude. Sometimes, I don't let it affect me. This other coworker does say , " say means things about him. I say it's not worth reacting over, and maybe he is just having a bad day. Even if it is not right, I can't change any other peoples reactions, only my own. Hope everyone reads the book and gives the author a chance. I think it will help other people in difficult situations in their work life. Review: If only every worker would read this one... - I think too many people in the psychology profession are snobby when it comes to analyzing social science works adored by the general public. If the books or writers become too successful then they are dismissed as being "pop." This certainly has been the case with my peers in regards to the Dr. Richard Carlson "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" series. They could not be more wrong, however. This particular offering is a monograph of considerable value. Other than this primer, I had only read the original, "...and it's all small stuff", edition. I found that, while the majority of his observations might not strike one as pure genius, they are steeped in common sense and are quite insightful. The theme here is "you be the adult." Even if your co-workers are acting like a bunch of ignorant sixth graders, you must rise above it. You're better than that. You'll forgive, work, and move on. Office politics is a fleeting and shallow endeavor. Keep your eyes on what you want in life. Many of those around you will be forgotten in a few years time and there's no reason to obsess over their opinions. They don't matter and, while you should be as kind and friendly as is possible, your long-term goals and aspirations are what counts. With annoying and dominant co-workers, when you lose your temper you tranfer power to them and give them the satisfaction that they have been looking for. Being above the frey is the last thing they want, but that's exactly where you should be. One of my favorite things that Dr. Carlson argues is that being relaxed and comfortable is essential to job performance and productivity. Further, there is nothing lazy or shameful about being in a good mood while on the clock. Do you help the company or institution by walking around like a grump so people have to proofread continuously what they're about to say to you? Certainly not. The wisdom is this book is not complex but it's not something that you will automatically figure out on your own. Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work is written in the same style as his other texts. It is extremely reader friendly as it is small and fits into a coat pocket. There are 284 pages which are efficiently broke up into 100 chapters. It won't take long to read, but, if you're like me and have had lots of difficulties dealing with the emotional baggage of others during your career, you will savor it for a long while. Dr. Carlson did us a great service by examining this subject. ## Features - Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work: Simple Ways to Minimize Stress and Conflict While Bringing Out the Best in Yourself and Others ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #100,706 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #537 in Love & Romance (Books) #544 in Motivational Management & Leadership #797 in Self-Esteem (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 737 Reviews | ## Images ![Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aMz047d-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book *by M***A on May 24, 2023* When I started therapy, I was dealing with a lot of stress at work.
