Reading List: Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff at Work – Simple Ways to Minimize Stress and Conflict while Bringing Out the Best in Yourself and Others by Richard Carlson
Even
though this book was published ten years ago, it’s worth re-reading. This economic downturn has added considerable pressure to office life. Increased demands on workers has led to longer hours, and in many cases, without increased pay. Threats of downsizing and unemployment hover over workers. All of these naturally increase stress. So relieving tensions through some of the simple steps in Carlson’s book can reduce anxiety and possibly improve productivity and satisfaction. I recommend you read it if you have not read it before. If you read it prior to the start of the recession, I recommend you read it again.
