The book by Richard Carlson, published in 1997 is the culmination of ideas to prevent struggles in life, where possible. The 100 approaches have been expounded into short stories.

It advises to not dispose of the feelings but place it into a wider context.

The author acknowledges his good fortune on being around gentle and calm people. He says if the inner peace becomes a part of the habit, there is comfort in achieving goals. 

The book also advised refraining from interrupting people and gives bits of advice to live in the present moment. It also has an unconventional advice, ‘allow yourself to be bored,’ and not be afraid of the unfilled moment.
