Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
An easy-to-read collection of short essays meant to uplift and inspire soccer moms everywhere, this addition to the Don't Sweat the Small Stuff series offers nothing more nor less than its predecessors. Carlson (whose husband, Richard, wrote the original book) joined him in writing Don't Sweat the Small Stuff in Love. This time, she relates many first-person stories from her own life and those of her friends in a just-between-us-girls tone that's based in part on gender stereotypes (e.g., "our gift of female intuition"; "our sensitive natures"). Her chatty pep talks cover such topics as comparing oneself to media images, overextending oneself, preventing and coping with stress and learning to say "no." Carlson advises women to appreciate their children's "fleeting" childhoods, to speak and listen from a place of love, to swallow angry words and gossip, to take time for themselves, to nurture friendships with other women and to keep tabs on their financial position and marketability in case they lose their spouse through death or divorce. Unfortunately, she misses a few good opportunities to offer important information, as in her breezy entries on PMS and mammograms. Aimed at people whose problems are mostly "small stuff," this small tome offers little to offend and much to calm and comfort. (Apr.)Forecast: Though probably destined to join the other Don't Sweat the Small Stuff titles on the bestseller list, this one faces more competition than the first books in the series did, and may not match their numbers in the long-term.
From AudioFile
With authentic charm and broad sensibilities about the psychology of women, the author offers a wide range of useful remedies for the overachieving mom, wife, or professional woman. Carlson understands the lure of visible responsibilities, like committee work, and the temptation to overschedule at the expense of one's self and family. Her practical suggestions are based on her solid understanding of emotional health and her personal knowledge of how to quiet the mind with practices like meditation, avoiding all kinds of clutter, and eating respectfully. Her ideas about healthy communication and distributing responsibilities in one's relationships are excellent. This thoughtful approach will make sense to a broad range of overcommitted and tired women.
