The OG for self help books。 You cannot beat the classics。 The principles of this book still stand today。

definitely a book that will stick！ appreciated the wholesome insights and wisdom。 lia gave this to me as a bday gift and it's a perfect reminder to live every day to the fullest 💗an easy book to finish！ if there's anything i'd want to change， it'd be the format。 each topic is divided into tiny two-three page chapters that can feel a bit like a brain dump。 some chapters were also a bit repetitive so i would have appreciated longer but more unique chapters to keep it packed well。 definitely a book that will stick！ appreciated the wholesome insights and wisdom。 lia gave this to me as a bday gift and it's a perfect reminder to live every day to the fullest 💗an easy book to finish！ if there's anything i'd want to change， it'd be the format。 each topic is divided into tiny two-three page chapters that can feel a bit like a brain dump。 some chapters were also a bit repetitive so i would have appreciated longer but more unique chapters to keep it packed well。 。。。more

One of the best self help books I’ve read。 Easy to pick up as chapters are short and concise。 A good read for down spells。

Salah satu buku Self Improvement yang sangat saya rekomendasikan untuk dibaca。 Selain bacaannya ringan dan mudah dipahami， buku ini sangat berhubungan dengan kehidupan kita sehari-hari。Beberapa tips di dalam buku ini sudah saya terapkan sebelum saya baca buku ini， dan memang benar beberapa dari tips tersebut sangat membantu kehidupan saya。 Namun terkadang jika bertemu dengan orang lain atau teman yang tidak sepaham membuat saya kembali stress jika menerapkan beberapa tips di buku tersebut。 Oleh Salah satu buku Self Improvement yang sangat saya rekomendasikan untuk dibaca。 Selain bacaannya ringan dan mudah dipahami， buku ini sangat berhubungan dengan kehidupan kita sehari-hari。Beberapa tips di dalam buku ini sudah saya terapkan sebelum saya baca buku ini， dan memang benar beberapa dari tips tersebut sangat membantu kehidupan saya。 Namun terkadang jika bertemu dengan orang lain atau teman yang tidak sepaham membuat saya kembali stress jika menerapkan beberapa tips di buku tersebut。 Oleh karena itu saya sangat merekomendasikan buku ini terlebih kepada teman terdekat saya， tujuannya supaya kami bisa saling menghargai satu sama lain。Seperti yang dikatakan sang penulis di akhir buku， Semoga kalian semua berbahagia。 。。。more

Loved the book！ Deep yet to the point。I liked the sense of humour and the simplicity in presenting the ideas。 Although some points were repeated in different occasions yet I enjoyed the book and will definitely read it again。

Overall， this was a good book and gave good snippets of advice。 For me， however， it wasn't anything mind blowing or new。 I can see how this could change people's lives if they had not considered these before and really absorb this book。 Then good for them！ But for me， I looked up a chapter list after I finished and just wrote those down。 That was enough for me， because I understood the depth and meaning of each short phrase。 There are a lot of good quotable parts of this book - I reference it a Overall， this was a good book and gave good snippets of advice。 For me， however， it wasn't anything mind blowing or new。 I can see how this could change people's lives if they had not considered these before and really absorb this book。 Then good for them！ But for me， I looked up a chapter list after I finished and just wrote those down。 That was enough for me， because I understood the depth and meaning of each short phrase。 There are a lot of good quotable parts of this book - I reference it a lot when trying to support friends。 Mmmm。。。 Hmmm。。。 I wonder if the book would be better just as a shorter list without the unnecessary small anecdotes， or as a book that focused on a few of these and dove deeper into them。 ANYWAY， for my own personal path， this book wasn't anything groundbreaking or new。 They hold ideas very common within religious/cultural practices around the world。 SPEAKING OF， he briefly talks about yoga and meditation， which is cool， and maybe he references that these techniques exist around the world。 But it felt a little bit man-splain-y （or more specifically， white-man-splain-y）。 Yehhhhh， that's the main reason the book felt bland for me。 。。。more

Good book overall with helpful advice and techniques that can be applied to my daily life。 Felt that some parts of the book was repetitive。 Definitely a book I’m going to keep and look back on when I just need a reminder to not sweat the small stuff！

DNF。 This was just too ‘90s for me。 It’s March 2022， everything is big stuff， nothing is “small stuff，” and when you or your loved ones could die from a global pandemic or get nuked in WW3， yeah—you’re gonna sweat it。 Oh， to be back in the good ole pre-9/11 ‘90s in the USA， when you could say with a straight face， as this author puts it， “Life isn’t an emergency。” I’m sorry， but this is 2022。 The planet is dying along with democracy in America。 It is very much an emergency。

This is a great book to keep yourself in check should you occasionally be the victim of an overactive mind。 Consider this book if you're the type of person who can relate to anxiety and stress in over-thinking things and allowing small things to turn into big issues。 Letting go of being a perfectionist， preventing snowball thinking and learning to live in the present moment are just a few of the chapters。 The book is full of short， relatable chapters with many hints to respond vs react。 Success This is a great book to keep yourself in check should you occasionally be the victim of an overactive mind。 Consider this book if you're the type of person who can relate to anxiety and stress in over-thinking things and allowing small things to turn into big issues。 Letting go of being a perfectionist， preventing snowball thinking and learning to live in the present moment are just a few of the chapters。 The book is full of short， relatable chapters with many hints to respond vs react。 Success and happiness start with what happens between your temples。 What you think has a major influence on what actually occurs。 It's also a great book to highlight great points and re-read them for further development and growth。 I highly recommended it！ 。。。more

I go back to this old book from time to time for reminders and lessons。 I thought it would be a cheesy self-help book when I started it （I love self-help books btw）， but I found it to hold useful， actionable tips and advice。 When I start to get really overwhelmed with。。。 whatever， I still turn to this book now and then for the reminders about priorities and what really matters。

I seldom read self-help books but I picked this one because it offers solutions to a problem which I have always wanted to get rid of - I get stressed easily over small stuff - and importantly， it is pretty short （less than 200 pages， doubt I would read a self-help book that is over 200 pages long lol）。 The author comes up with 100 pieces of advice for making peace with stressors in life， each piece of advice is only one-page long， so it's very easy to read。 Gets a bit repetitive towards the end I seldom read self-help books but I picked this one because it offers solutions to a problem which I have always wanted to get rid of - I get stressed easily over small stuff - and importantly， it is pretty short （less than 200 pages， doubt I would read a self-help book that is over 200 pages long lol）。 The author comes up with 100 pieces of advice for making peace with stressors in life， each piece of advice is only one-page long， so it's very easy to read。 Gets a bit repetitive towards the end， but overall it's a soothing read。I was randomly going through reviews of this book when I learnt that the author suffered a sudden death on a book promotion tour。 Life is indeed too short to be anything but happy， why not just let the small stuff go？ 。。。more

Words of wisdom to help you sail through life。 A book that should be left somewhere handy when you have a few minutes to read。 You only need time to read two short pages of advice to put into practice。

This book made some really good points and with the chapters being short it made it easier to read and understand whilst making the point straight forward。 However， towards the end of the book it does start to become a bit repetitive。
