About the Author

Best-selling author Richard Carlson, Ph.D., creator of the popular Don't Sweat the Small Stuff series and the just published Don't Get Scrooged, died suddenly of cardiac arrest enroute to New York on December 13. Carlson, 45, published his first book in 1985 and went on to publish more than 20 books that remain popular in English and in translation in 130 languages and 35 countries. Richard Carlson grew up in Piedmont, CA. He received his undergraduate degree from Pepperdine University and his Ph.D. in psychology from Sierra University. He was in private practice as a psychotherapist when he started to publish books about psychological and spiritual health. As his books started to attract a large audience, he began writing full time so he could teach more people how to live with presence and ease by cultivating gratitude and generosity. Dr. Carlson was a large supporter of and participant in the National Center for Family Literacy and at the time of his death he was working on a project with them called for "A Penny a Book" from publishers, authors and literary agents to promote literacy. Dr. Carlson is survived by his wife and life partner of 25 years, Kris Carlson, his co-author on Don't Sweat the Small Stuff in Love and the author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff for Women, his loving daughters Jasmine and Kenna, sisters, Kathleen Carlson Mowris of Olympic Village, CA and Anna L. Carlson of La Selva Beach, CA, and his parents, Barbara and Don Carlson of Orinda, CA. A private memorial service will be held next week. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made in Richard's honor to local food banks, Challenge Day, Girls Inc. or Children Inc.

5.0 out of 5 stars An awesome little book, November 15, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Don't Sweat Affirmations: 100 Inspirations to Help Make Your Life Happier and More Relaxed (Don't Sweat Guides) (Paperback)
For anyone who has ever read a book by Richard Carlson, and liked it, this is a must-read. It's also a must-read for anyone who is ruled by something else than love and patience.
The affirmations are really uplifting and relaxing, and they can help you reach the kind of focus that makes life a lot easier. I use these affirmations to remind me that there is a lot more to life than my petty stresses and worries. The affirmations also can help you find the right way to connect with others and to have more loving relationships your life over.
Oh, one more thing: it's written all over the cover of this book that it contains 100 affirmation. I haven't counted them all, but since there are 190 pages with 5 or 6 affirmations per page in the book, I'm pretty sure there are 1000, not 100 affirmations in there, unless I'm really missing something. It's kind of a big mistake, but I'm rather confident that the authors are not going to sweat it. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars What we think, speak, and do matters., January 1, 2008
By 
Cinnamon Girl (Studio City, California USA) - See all my reviews
I like this book and, upon reading many of the affirmations, I'd hear myself saying things like, 'Yes, that's important to me.' about those ideals/values/desires which I may not have articulated prior to reading them here. By stating them, I believe I give them more power -- speak them into existence -- than just thinking about them in passing.

One example of an issue with this book: Section 2 titled "Problems as Opportunities." Many affirmations in this section use the word "problem" and, in my opinion, reinforce having a problem. I've done extensive editing in this section. In fact, I've done editing throughout this book and substituted words that are more meaningful to me. That's not a criticism of the book. Rather, I very much like and appreciate this book because I use it as a springboard in creating affirmations that are personal to me and that take into account my personal sensibilities, beliefs, etc.

There are 10 Chapters/Sections/Categories and, within each of these, there are 100 affirmations. As well, there are two pages at the back of the book to write your own.

Peace.
