Don't Sweat the Small Stuff for Men: Simple Ways to Minimize Stress in a Competitive World

Over the past five years, Richard Carlson has shown countless families, lovers, and workers how to live in a more calm and productive manner. Now he turns his attention to men, with numerous simple st...rategies and life lessons that blend humor, warmth, and uncommon wisdom. Carlson invites men of all ages to enjoy the benefits of simplification and discover what so many of us already know: that its a stressful world out there, but it doesnt have to be. Publishers Weekly Carlson (Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, etc.) is back, with 100 brief chapters of advice, many of which acknowledge the male psyche. For example, men have told him that doing service feeds the soul, so he reminds readers to have a special cause. He also advises men to avoid letting their competitive natures rule their lives and to maintain their male friendships after they get serious with a woman. The chapter "Take Your Wife's Advice" makes clear that Carlson is targeting readers who are part of a nuclear family. Then again, a good number of chapters offer more gender-neutral advice: cast your choices in a positive light ("be in favor of simplicity" rather than "against clutter and chaos"); keep a spare set of keys and a wallet with a credit card and some cash, so that losing these items won't be catastrophic. There's inevitable repetition if read from cover to cover Carlson advises readers to do something nice for others and to be more generous, and to practice mindfulness and be present but this book is meant to be read in inspirational snippets. The author's "half full" outlook will indeed inspire and soothe: readers should "calculate the number of things that went right today" and observe that there's no bad weather, "only different kinds of good weather." Life, he reminds us, is "too precious to take for granted." (Sept.) Forecast: Publication in time for Father's Day might have worked better, but a $200,000 marketing campaign (including major TV advertising), Carlson's scheduled appearance on Good Morning America and his bona-fide franchise bode very well.

Eliminating Stress, Finding Inner Peace

Eliminating Stress, Finding Inner Peace is an important step on the healing journey. Stress kills—there’s no doubt. It eats away at you, affecting your level of happiness, as well as your stomach lini...ng. It raises your blood pressure and directly harms your cardiovascular system. It depresses your immune system and allows chronic illnesses to overwhelm you—causing pain, disability, and even death. Basically, stress prevents you from experiencing life’s many pleasures. Stress is a mental state that can cause severe negative emotional and physical consequences. It can be entirely eliminated, or at least greatly lessened, by adjusting our understanding and attitudes, and by learning simple, yet very effective, relaxation techniques. This book, with its accompanying stress-reduction audio download, will help you deeply relax. It will enable you to release the acute and chronic tension you constantly carry in your body and mind. It can also help you remove the blocks and obstacles to your inner peace and contentment, and prevent stress-related illness and disease. To heal yourself in this manner is an act of self-love, because you’re taking the time and expending the energy to work on yourself physically and emotionally, thereby bringing more joy into your life. You’ll find that regular practice with the audio will produce profound, long-lasting results.
