Easier Than You Think audiobook

Richard Carlson #1 theme before he would compete in a sports game and his approach to life is the same strategy of Bill Murray in "What About Bob." Take it 1 step at a time. A mentor taught 18 year old Richard Carlson to read 8 pages every day for a whole year and to put more into life then you take out of it.

Could have used a little more substance to this book. However, for as concise as it is - it truly packed a punch. The suggestions for being a better listener are easy ways to improve our life at home and at work... and something I know I need to work on.

I love this book! It was a life saver for me when I first read it. I frequently pull it out and re-read my favorite parts as reminders that life doesn't have to be so hard.

If you’re looking to make few changes in your current lifestyle but not sure of the direction to take, then this your go to book. The chapters are small with about 2-3 pages with very clear examples on how a small a change can make a major difference. It’s easy to get hooked on to this book and finish asap. It is also one of those books that you can just pick anytime you want and read a chapter that will help you get back on track. Just the book I needed for my current lifestyle.

This was an easy read. Carlson adroitly hammers home what you have known all along, those simple truths that are so common but yet super powerful. Simple mind shifts that can catapult you to new heights if adhered to and practised consistently. Why not start by giving people the benefit of the doubt? Give a little, mmh? How about putting first things first including setting some funds aside for the rainy day?No, the latter is not a contradiction. All these and more, if you read this book.

Excellent quick read listing a number of small daily "course corrections" that one can make to change the quality of our lives! I only wish that the author (Rchard Carlson) was still with us to write more books.

Quick collection of good advice.

Great book, with fantastically easy suggestions to change your mindset and your life!

Practical points that if followed will allow significant changes for the reader to make a better life for themselves and their families.

I love love love this book. Such wonderful simple practical wisdom. I share the stories with my husband and 5 years old nephew and they both love it too.I must have listen to this at least 10-15 times and it's nothing new; it's how I was raised by my amazingly loving parents and I have amazingly wonderful kind, loving role models and friends who also live and practice these practical suggestions. If you have kids, definitely listen/read/share with them, no matter what age. It is helpful for all, no matter our age. It's not a how to but a wonderful reminder what we all know but sometime forget to apply these practical things because we just are too busy. But, are we too busy to do things that make life better, be happier for ourselves and treat others kinder/nicer.Trust me, you will enjoy it. Keep your heart open and let love in and out... freely and generously>Did I say I really like this book? Smile.

Helps you to put lots of things about your life in perspective. One of those books that you can see benefit in at any point in life. At the time I was reading this, I found out someone at work was under a lot of stress with pretty much the highest blood pressure that you can have before having a heart attack. He is taking the week off to relax and get some medicine, but I got the chance to talk to him and reminded him what's truly important in life. I like to think this book really helped me to help him. In that way, I think this book alters your thinking into a life of gratitude and peace that can then help others.
