(RAW Rating: 4.5) - Food for Thought

I received THE BIG BOOK OF SMALL STUFF as an early birthday gift. I've remember hearing the rave reviews of author Richard Carlson's previous book Don't Sweat the Small Stuff. So I cracked open THE BIG BOOK OF SMALL STUFF and was intrigued by what I found. This book is a wonderful inspirational read that I dare say offers something to everyone. It is chock full of humorous wisdom laced with everyday reality which encourages fun, yet thought-provoking introspection. One of my favorite passages is #35 "Absorb the Speed Bumps of Your Day." It uses the metaphor of a speed bump to remind us that the issues we encounter on a daily basis are minor in the overall scheme of things. These are mere speed bumps in our pathway and therefore our approach would be one of two things - 1) slow our frenzied schedule to deal with it or 2) we rush over our problematic speed bump causing damage to ourselves and the situation. With mini-passages entitled "Choose Your Battles Wisely," "Become a Better Listener" and "Let Other Have the Glory" (just to name a few), this book touches on a host of subjects and leaves you with deposits of wisdom that will help brighten your day.
