Surprisingly, the moral is very similar to the Karma yogi philosophy
"Karmanyebaadhikaraste Ma phalessu Kadacha na" and nothing more. Once, one
learns to be a karma yogi the book is just too obvious.

"Don't Sweat the Small Stuff ...and it's all small stuff" is a book that
shows you how to keep from letting the little things in life drive you
crazy. In thoughtful and insightful language, author Richard Carlson reveals
ways to calm down in the midst of your incerdibly hurried, stress-filled
life. You can learn to put things in perspective by making the small daily
changes he suggests, including advice such as "Think of your problems as
potential teachers"; "Remember that when you die, your 'in' box won't be
empty"; and "Do one thing at a time." You should try to live in the present
moment, let others have the glory at times, and lower your tolerance to
stress. You can write down your most stubborn positions and see if you can
soften them, learn to trust your intuitions, and live each day as if it might
be your last. With gentle, supportive suggestions, Dr. Carlson reveals ways
to make your actions more peaceful and caring, with the added benefit of
making your life more calm and stress-free.
