Richard Carlson’s Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff is a collection of
bite-sized, easily swallowed recommendations on how to become a better person by
taking the stress out of your life, at the same time improving everybody else’s.
It’s a bestseller in the US, to the tune of three million copies. The style is
cosy, but never pious. Whether it successfully crosses the Atlantic may depend
on Brits’ acceptance and understanding of American idioms. Take the title, for
instance. Published in Britain by Hodder and Stoughton and Hyperion in the US,
£7.95/$9.95, ISBN 0340708018.
