About the Author:

Richard Carlson, PhD, is the author of the bestselling Don't Sweat the Small Stuff. He lives with his wife and children in northern California.

From AudioFile:

The author of the DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF audios tells us how to handle the big stuff like illness, injury, death, divorce, and financial problems. It takes courage to deal with these issues and to accept that we don't know everything, but it's a necessary first step. Throughout the audio Carlson offers solid advice on accepting our strong feelings about the big stuff and adjusting the way we think about these feelings so they won't overwhelm us. He tells us how to transform anger and fear into something manageable and constructive, and counsels us to settle down with what we can and cannot control. Prepare now for emergencies and then relax, rather than ignoring potential calamities and then really sweating when a crisis materializes.
