Do not care about trivial matters, for all matters are trivial. Authored by Richard Carlson

Do not care about the minor matters for all matters are minor is a book by Richard Carlson, in which he presents a set of simple and practical strategies to help alleviate daily life pressures. The book focuses on the idea that much of the stress and anxiety we face comes from exaggerating the importance of small events, or what he calls the minor matters. Carlson guides readers to the importance of controlling reactions and looking at problems from a broader perspective. He also encourages re-evaluating the way they deal with daily obstacles and beginning to respond to them in a calmer and more contemplative manner.
