Authors A-C: 'C' Trivia Questions

61. Who was the inspiration for the book's title?

From Quiz
Don't Sweat The Small Stuff

Answer: Wayne Dyer

Richard Carlson was attempting to get an endorsement for his book, "You Can Feel Good Again", from Dr. Wayne Dyer. Dr. Dyer is a best-selling author of many books ranging from psychology to self-help to spirituality. Dr. Dyer had endorsed one of his previous books, but this time, he could not contact him and finally gave up. Dr. Carlson told the publisher not to use his name and was both shocked and dismayed when the book was released and had Wayne Dyer's earlier endorsement on the cover. He immediately wrote Wayne Dyer an apology letter, as he was worried about the implications and consequences of using an endorsement without permission. A few weeks later, he received a letter from Wayne Dyer that said the following: "Richard. There are two rules for living in harmony. #1) Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" and #2) It's all small stuff. Let the quote stand. Love, Wayne." Subsequently, this became the title and sub-title of this book! This information can be found in the book's introduction.

In this story, Beauty's father drives back from his lawyer's and his car breaks down on the side of the road. In the hope that he may find someone with a phone, he stumbles into a courtyard and makes his way into a castle marked with a gold lion knocker. After settling in and being led around the house by a King Charles Spaniel, he uses the phone and calls for help; a truck arrives in an hour to take care of his vehicle. As he leaves, however, the owner of the castle, the beastly Mr. Lyon, catches Beauty's father stealing a white rose for his daughter and insists that he bring the girl to the mansion. Beauty heads to the castle and enjoys dinner with her rugged, mysterious beast-man and after several days comes to realize that he is an odd fellow. When her father's money issues are solved she's called to London, but promises the beast she'll be back before winter's end. She forgets. As spring dawns, Beauty is visited by the Spaniel who, apparently, has run all the way to retrieve her. When she reaches the Beast he seems emaciated and no longer like his former self. When she promises that she has returned for him he takes on an almost human appearance. The two of them wed shortly after, residing in the castle.
