A short list of life-rules. You already know half of them, but nevertheless I noticed that shortly after reading some of them migrated into my daily life.
A book on mindfullness, not holding grudge and that life is to be enjoyed.

I hated it. It is the small stuff that really matters.

This is a compilation of 100 different anxiety-related tips. There were definitely some pearls of wisdom, but as a “people pleaser”, I thought some of the tips were counter-productive to that (sometimes a girls got to stick up for herself, ya-know?).

This is a late entry, but I’m finally going back and adding these books to my GRs!

I finished this book as part of a “book boot camp” challenge! See my full video review below ❤️

This was an incredible read.

Next to The Bible I’m not sure if another book has impacted the way I see the world more than this one did.

I will definitely be revisiting at some point down the line.

Not a bad way to help me reground my perspective. I realized I had been slipping into negativity and feeling like every inconvenience, even the small ones, were a personal slight--the world was clearly out to get me. (Haha, jkjk.) I do recommend reading the physical book if you are going to read this one. The audiobook was nice since I commute long hours, but I think I would have enjoyed reading the physical book more. I would have been able to stop and contemplate more easily, whereas the the audiobook trudged on and driving-me could only keep going and not pause/stop it.

There is some great guidance here. Check it out. Very short, very direct, gets you thinking and into self reflection.

ok WOW i am picky with self-help books (bc come on admit it some are a little whiny or too rah rah cheery or just plain trying to invent problems to solve hahahah) and this was GOOD! it talks about how to develop more humility, patience, and love. i love his focus away from competition, “our need for excessive attention is that ego-centered part of us that says, look at me. I'm special. My story is more interesting than yours.” It's that voice inside of us that may not come right out and say it but that wants to believe that “my accomplishments are slightly more important than yours.”

This book measures about 5.5" x 6.5" x.75" and has a 100 chapters or "strategies" for dealing with everyday life. Most of it is common sense stuff mixed in with bromides from every other self help book ever written.

Here's the thing: there is plenty in life that is a big deal and needs to be paid attention to like it's a big deal. Sure. It's nice to be humble, compassionate, patient, understanding, a good listener and filled with gratitude. Let's be frank, though. All of life's little challenges cannot be overcome by following the 100 strategies in this book.

I picked it up as a result of reading several blogs from a few different writers about how this book was the best thing since sliced bread and really helped change their life for the better. Good for them. Since I've read literally hundreds of self help books (and I'm still a mess) so I've heard or read it all before.

This time it's just dressed up in cute little two-page chapters.

I'm sorry. I wanted to like this book but just couldn't help but think that it's more mind valium that suggests overly simplistic solutions.

3.5 stars

short review for busy readers:
As they say, Confucius didn’t invent Confucianism, he compiled ‘good idea’ texts into a bundle that people really took to heart. That's what we've got here, too.

in detail:
The contents of this book are not all so original and since publication in the 90s many of the things he talks about have become mainstream (see: Mindfulness), but that’s not the point. The point is to present a selection of good ideas and simple techniques that, when applied more or less consistently, probably will have a positive effect on your outlook and dealings with others.

Many of them you’ll already know or practice…but it’s good to be reminded every once in a while.

For example:

Okay so it's not "cool" to read self-help books and, frankly, most of them give me the heebie jeebies, but I think this book was kind of spot-on. I liked how the ideas were presented in small vignettes instead of a massive tome that overwhelms more than inspires. I think Carlson has a good point in suggesting that maybe we make a big deal out of things that aren't such a big deal. I'm a pretty easy going person for the most part (oh, except for that depression thing) and a lot of what he says reflects my own philosophy. There were even a few new suggestions that I thought were helpful.

In general, this is a book for someone who's a little too uptight, a little too stressed, and a little too much of a worrier.

I actually appreciated more than I thought I would. Most things I knew or thought I did. The gentle reminders are great to meditate on. This is all about getting yourself to a better, happier place. As someone who suffers from anxiety, I can use it. There are interest tips here that are simply a mind-shift that brings happiness or a bit less stress into our lives. I loved most of them. Some did nothing for me but that is to be expected. Others felt redundant to some already given. A worthwhile read.

100 ข้อคิด ที่จะช่วยนำเราให้ใคร่ครวญว่าอะไรที่สำคัญ ไม่สำคัญ เรียนรู้และฝึกฝนที่จะผ่อนคลาย ปล่อยวาง ไม่ตึงเครียดในการใช้ชีวิต

แต่อ่านๆ ไปรู้สึกหัวข้อก็จะวนๆ อยู่กับประเด็นเดิมๆ เลยทำให้ช่วงครึ่งหลังแอบเบื่อนิดหน่อย แต่ส่วนตัวก็ยังพยายามเก็บบางหัวข้อมาปรับใช้กับตัวเองให้ได้ ที่จำได้ดีคือ "สโนว์บอลทางความคิด" อย่าปล่อยให้ความคิดในแง่ลบไหลไปเรื่อยๆ เพราะมันจะยิ่งทำให้ปัญหาเล็กๆ กลายเป็นปัญหาใหญ่ไป เหมือนก้อนหิมะก้อนเล็กๆ ที่พอกลิ้งลงจากภูเขาก็จะมีขนาดที่ใหญ่ขึ้นเรื่อยๆ และยากที่จะหยุดโดยที่จะไม่ได้รับความเสียหาย หรือการลดความก้าวร้าวในขณะขับรถ เปลี่ยนช่วงเวลานี้ให้กลายเป็นสนามทดสอบความอดทนเวลาเจอคนขับรถไม่ดี หรือ การฝึกเป็นผู้ฟังที่ดี ซึ่งในหนังสือพูดถึงเยอะ และชักนำให้เราตระหนักถึงข้อดีในการเป็นผู้ฟัง ถึงแม้พวกเราจะรู้อยู่แล้วก็ตาม แต่เราก็ยังประเมินว่าเรายังต้องฝึกฝนในเรื่องนี้อีก

แต่ไม่ว่าจะประเด็นอะไรก็ตาม ทุกอย่างคือต้องหาจุดสมดุล ไม่ทำให้เราเคร่งเครียดจริงจังจนเกินไป ให้ผ่อนคลาย และทำเท่าที่เราทำได้จนเกิดสุขภาวะในตัวเอง

เน้นเลยคือ ทำแล้วมีความสุข สมดุล ผ่อนคลาย ยืดหยุ่น ไม่ยึดติด ไม่ต้องสมบูรณ์แบบ ปล่อยวาง
