In Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, Richard Carlson revealed new ways to calm down and enjoy more peace in our lives. Now, in Don't Worry, Make Money, Richard Carlson provides more new strategies for living more fully and worrying less as a means of attracting more wealth and abundance in our lives.

Often we get into the trap of thinking that the only way to earn a good living is to stay late at the office, feeling stressed out and full of anxiety. However, this can actually get in the way of having a productive and rewarding career, and can drastically decrease our earnings. "Accept the fact that you can make excuses, or you can make money, but you can't do both," Carlson tells us. Combining his unique philosophy with specific financial strategies, Don't Worry, Make Money also tells us how to:

* Use the power of reflection
* Sock away two years' worth of living expenses
* Learn about the relationship between moods and money
* Develop relationships with people before you need something from them

Full of interesting and unique ideas for the overworked businessperson, Don't Worry, Make Money tells listeners how to live a life that's more wealthy, productive, and carefree by refusing to let worry get you down.

I recommend reading "The 7 habits of highly effective people". "Don't worry, make money" is just a short summary of "The 7 habits of highly effective people", and it is not really helpful because the author doesn't explain anything in depth.

BORING!

Don't Worry, Make Money

Written by JohnnyY2k on February 26th, 2006

In this genre, there are three classes of books: Groundbreakers, Reinforcers, and Junk Food. If you plotted them on a curve, the top 5% would be groundbreaking, 80% would fall into the “Reinforcer” category, and the bottom 15% would be junk food. In that light, the reader must understand that you are rarely going to find a completely new and fresh set of ideas. Most of these selections are going to feel like a retread, because they are. You should try and take each selection like “I’ve heard this before and I am applying these concepts” or “That’s something I need focus on”. The fact that there isn’t much new material in this selection isn’t why this book barely made it out of the Junk Food group, it’s because it didn’t deliver on its’ promises. After listening to it I’m still worried and not making any more money. The upsides are that the selection is short and the author is an adequate narrator. There a few good nuggets that make it worth the 90 minutes. 6 out of 15 johnnies.

This book seems to deal more with the "don't worry" part of making money. It focuses more on your attitude than increasing your wealth. It is definitely not a roadmap to becoming a millionaire. The author's own attitude is upbeat and encouraging. While it wasn't quite what I was expecting, it was interesting and motivating.

I felt this book was anything but boring, it was real life! Helps you think outside the box to be a better, more positive person.
