Spirituality meets self-help in this book. As both a rabbi and medical doctor of psychiatry, Twerski is able to put everyday problems into perspective. Each of the 100+ "chapters" are succinct--not more than a page or two. Instead of preaching at readers, they offer entertaining and thought-provoking stories. These stories illustrate key points that amount to the title. Things are not as tough as we think. Throughout the book, Twerski shows readers how to be grateful, wise, humble, happy, joyous, and confident. Just when we think something is really awful, we need to put it in perspective and remind ourselves that it's not the end of the world. By controlling our mood, outlook, and perspective, we are well on our way to stressing less about life's everyday upsets.
