watch

January 2025: A Note from Hope Katz Gibbs, founder and president, Inkandescent PR + Publishing Co. — I can’t think of a better way to start the new year than by celebrating the good stuff with this latest book in the Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff Series by Richard and Kristine Carlson.

The backstory: I met Kristine shortly after her husband, Richard Carlson, passed. For 25 years, she was married to the “Don’t Sweat” author and leadership expert, who died suddenly in December 2006. “He was on an airplane bound for home in California when he had a pulmonary embolism. I’ll never forget getting that call with the news. In the beginning, I thought I would be in deep grief forever. But now I know differently. Richard had such an extraordinary way of seeing the world and expressing it. In some ways, he’s still here.”

About the new book: Kristine has kept on the tradition of publishing books in the series, and this latest title is sure to help millions filed their inner calm and embrace life’s goodness every day. With 365 daily reflections from the best-loved wisdom in the Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff series, you’ll find a page of inspiration every day of 2025!

“The mission of this book is to provide practical advice and timeless insights to help us focus on what truly matters,” Kristine explains. “Each reflection touches on key areas of life—from relationships to professional challenges to physical and emotional wellness —serving as gentle invitations to pause, appreciate the moment, and choose joy, no matter what the day brings.”
