Dont Sweat the Small Stuff and Its All Small Stuff
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff And Its All Small Stuff
Just by reading the title of this book I realized it was for me, a book that I could learn from and take advantage of it. I get stressed out very easily; I have to have everything under control, organized and projected in order for me to know how my upcoming days are going to be like. Those are some aspects of my personality and since not everything you want or plan ends up the way you want it, it’s good to read a book that helps you cope with difficult moments and teaches you new ways to see life, live life and the most important to me interact with life. One of the things that I gave the most importance to were the messages that talked about relationships with other people. And the book made me see that we as human beings all act very similarly but we have that unconscious part that tells us we could be acting in some other way. This made me came up with my own phrase that would make me remember the whole book “treat every other how you want them to treat you and do what’s unusual to you” only remembering this phrase it’s going to make a difference in the rest of my life The book made me realize with all the different things it talked about that there were several things that I had to start changing and that this instantly would make me a better person. Not only would other people realize but you to. I criticize a lot and people get uncomfortable with that, sometimes one’s to blind to realize, I’m trying to let people be. Expressing my feeling it’s also hard, but sometimes no matter what the situation is I just have to do it for my own spirit. Just by doing this and more things that I’m going to mention later, my relationship with my dad and brother could be better because I haven’t been good with them because of our

    I feel like I have been doing a very good job meeting, creating, and keeping friends. I think that may have to do with the fact that my husband is in the military and I have to meet new friends all the time (although, now I have friends all over the country, and they are absolutely amazing)! I do think that the book had some great points, though, one being about self-worth and identity. It is hard sometimes keeping up with all of the lifestyle changes in life, so that part of the book gave me some relief. Identity is not written in stone!…

    I had always been told this book was incredible and I never read it because it just didn't seem like my type of book, but this course gave me the opportunity to read this book and really reflect on it. I suppose there are many different ways that I could use this book in both my personal and professional life. All of the different things going on in this book really helped me to notice some of the signs that children who suffer from abuse and neglect will often show. Children coming to school in smelly clothes, having random bruises appearing each week, looks of malnourishment, change of bruise stories, etc. are all tell-tale signs that maybe there's a bigger issue going on in the home than meets the eye. I have a passion for Social Work and working with children and adults who have been affected by alcohol and substance abuse is where I want to spend most of my time, so this book really hit me in my emotions and pulled at my heart strings. This book has opened up my eyes to see the cruelty that we face in this world and that nobody is safe, not even a small child. If nothing else, this book at least has made me want to be nicer to children and to make sure I can identify signs of abuse and neglect in children. This book makes me so much more excited to be a helper after reading it because I'm going to strive to get victims of this severe abuse out of the home and into a safe area. Also, this book makes…

    I liked this novel very much because it shows how precious life is, and that drinking and driving is NEVER a good idea. The story makes me realize that with maturity, comes difficult choices, and you must always be wise. Things like this happen every day and people always think, “Oh it won’t happen to me,” but you never know. I would recommend this book to my friends because I think the story line would influence their choices greatly. I think it would give them a better perspective on making good…

    This book has a lot of strength but not a lot of people in my opinion. A strength in the book is that it is encouraging people that it is okay to be different. A weakness is the beginning didn't really grab my attention and I thought it was boring but when…

    I liked this book mainly because of how different it was compared to my lifestyle and how entertaining it was. Nikki turner didn’t really sugar coat much so I felt I was watching a movie and saw it for what it truly was. Like anyone’s guilty pleasure we all like reality television and it kind of reminded me of just that with fights and drama. The books good points that were how certain events that happen in one’s life good or bad really do shape a person into who they become. Teaching me to not be ashamed of what happens and to only use that circumstance as a motivation of some kind. For anyone that is interested in a gritty, suspenseful, and eye bulging book that keeps you wondering what’s next I would definably recommend this book to that someone willing to take a…

    But i learned that sometimes you just have to pull the trigger to kill your demons so somehow allow you to sleep better at night knowing there is nothing to worry about. This is important because it shows the difference of becoming what some people want you to be and to being your own person independent through law and all. This book taught me a lesson because my life is at a loop every day and it doesn't change unless i am the one who changes it and gives it…

    I would recommend this book to anyone who needs some inspiration and motivation in their life. It is very interesting because it doesn't just focus on the author. It refers to many inspirational people who were fearless in way worse situations than what we face today. The next book I will probably end up reading is from what the website recommended me on my wall of books when I am finished with reading this…
