Sensational Narration

Wow! Kristine’s soothing voice made this already great book of wisdom even better. Even though I had read the book before, listening to this is a must. I couldn’t wait to hit the play button. I’m going to listen again!

The three strategies that stood out to me the most

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff Every Day! Five stars all the way. What made this book so powerful was the sheer volume—365 practical, bite-sized strategies to stay grounded and stop letting little things ruin your day. Three standouts for me: 1) “Choose being kind over being right”—a total mindset shift. 2) “Let others have the glory sometimes”—simple but huge for your peace of mind. And 3) “Be grateful when you’re feeling tired or stressed”—a reminder that even chaos has blessings. Richard and Christine Carlson really deliver here. Easy to read, super actionable, and a great way to reset your brain daily. Highly recommend keeping this on your nightstand.

Inspiring Words of Wisdon!

Even though this book contains several chapters from the other “Don’t Sweat” books, there are many more which are new here, and it’s ALL great info. Kris Carlson’s narration is a teensy bit dry (mainly because it *sounds* like she’s reading, if that makes sense), but it’s not bad, and I’d still rather hear these words in her voice than that of a random narrator (or worse, AI). The nature of my job (home health nurse) requires a lot of driving, and listening to this book, or anything from Dr. Carlson and/or the “Don’t Sweat” series, is a literal day-changer: as I’m continually encouraged, inspired, and reminded throughout the day of Dr. Carlson’s infinite wisdom as his beautiful wife shares it with the listener. I find myself feeling less stressed and more patient, relaxed, and content with a calmer, healthier perspective and state of mind, I like to write one or two tips a day to focus on and practice on a sticky note which I place on my dashboard.
