Richard Carlson

Richard Carlson, Ph.D. is considered to be one of the foremost experts on happiness and stress reduction in the United States and around the world. As the author of twenty popular books including the runaway bestseller, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...and it's all Small Stuff, he has shown millions of people how not to let the small things in life get the best of them.

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff made publishing history as the USA Today's #1 bestselling book for two consecutive years. The title spent over one hundred consecutive weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, and is considered one of the fastest selling books of all time. In 2004, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff was voted one of the top ten most read books in the past decade! Richard is one of the few authors in history to have two different titles at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list at the same time: Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, in soft cover and Don't Worry, Make Money, in hardcover.

Richard lives in Northern California with his wife, Kris. Together, they have "co-authored" two beautiful daughters.
