No one is perfect
When asked if he has ever forgotten his own advice and found himself in situations where he unconsciously started sweating the small stuff, Carlson said: "Yes, it doesn't happen often, but it has happened, sure. Once I was running to catch a plane at an airport in the US, and I was in a big rush, going from one city to another on a book tour, and they cancelled my flight.
"At the ticket counter, when I heard the news, I was just about to lose control and pound the counter in anger, when someone behind me said, `Aren't you Richard Carlson, the author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff?' and my hand came down real quickly to my side, real calm."
