Known as someone who worried about every little thing, always anticipated the worst possible outcome, and generally allowed her thoughts to get far ahead of life's actual circumstance, author Jane Anne Staw was one day inspired to think small. Her inspiration led her to learn to pay attention to the unfolding moments of life without the burden of worrying about what might come next. Over time, thinking small developed into a central practice in Staw's life, and what followed was life-changing. In all facets of her life, she experienced a shift away from anger, depression, overwhelm, and loneliness to affection, calm, and connection. Her book of short and insightful essays about some of life's most common occurrences-Small: The Little We Need for Happiness-are meditations in thinking small and discovering a life of profound contentment and wellbeing. This workbook complements her book of essays by providing exercises that will aid in practicing small.
