I can remember when I was in my mid-twenties when I first saw, "Don't Worry, Make Money" sitting on the shelf of my local bookstore. I just had to have it. Worry-free money making, that was for me.This was my introduction to the wonderful writings of Richard Carlson. Richard is most famously known for his bestselling book, "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff...and It's All Small Stuff." Personally, I found his books unique because each chapter was only a page or two. Even with the chapters so short, they where long on great advice on so many different topics. Most of Richard's books focused on how to be happy and how to reduce stress. I was sad to hear that Richard Carlson died suddenly of a heart attack (at the early age of 45) on December 13, 2006, on the way to New York to promote his new book, "Don't Get Scrooged."
What makes Richard Carlson so remarkable? It's how many people his thirty popular books touched. He had 26 million copies in print and they were published in 35 languages and sold in over 130 countries. Now that's impressive.
Richard proved with his own life as an example, that everyone can be happy and successful with very little perspiration.
