In law, a process known as "shepardizing" involves researching cases related to the one that you're representing, using Shepard's Citations. In each case that you look up, you can find other cases, which leads you to others, etc. Shepardizing should be thorough, and in theory could lead on forever; so how do you know when to stop? When the cases you find start referring back to cases you've already read.

The unabridged audiobook has four star advice and Richard Carlson does a four star job of reading his book. I give the book only three stars because almost all of the techniques he taught were things I've already learned from other sources. They are good techniques and I was happy to be reminded of some of them, but this book was less useful for me personally than it will be for many others. I'd suggest reading or listening to Richard Carlson's Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, and It's All Small

This was a self help book that really stresses staying positive by doing small things. I think since many people are resistant to major changes, small changes may be key. I actually really enjoyed reading this - it reenforced the notion to be grateful for the little things in life and to lighten up. We are often too hung up on the stupid things in life and focus on the negative quite too often. Maybe if we change our attitude and look to the positive, we all won't be so grumpy. This book strongl

Easier Than You Think is a good and easy read. Small changes make big differences and this book not only proves it, but shows you how. If you're feeling stuck in a rut or like you need some positive changes in your life, give this book a shot and see if it doesn't give you a lot to think about.

Some good tips and advice on how to make life more meaningful one small change at a time. Generally stuff that we all know, but don't always live. Nothing ground-breaking (which is why the two star rating), but some good ways to put life in perspective.

You have to read it slow or take notes to enjoy this book. Otherwise you will say there's nothing new here. The author suggests small changes you can make to make your life easier.

I am surprised how much I liked this book. Plausible, intelligible & potentially fruitful. There was a time when I might have been dismissive of the author's message but in my current context the notion of making small changes (baby steps) to improve one's outlook and quality of life strikes a resonant chord for me.

This book is perfect for those in a rut and can only see the negative in everything. It basically tells you to change your thoughts to positive ones. Easier said sometimes than done. If you are looking for a way to change your life by doing something really simple read "29 Gifts" by Kami Walker.

I found this book to be a quick and refreshing self-help book. It doesn't have any really new things to say. Instead, each chapter is a little reminder of something a person could do to improve their life, such as being content with what you have, working toward goals, taking time for yourself, etc. I got this from the library, but I think I will buy it just to read every once in awhile. It has a lot principles that I could really work on. There could be (and have been) books written on eac
