I liked the title of this book and the idea of little things, like making your bed, can help to make your life better, so I picked up a copy. It is a small, easy read with 125 small pages (with lots of white space) and 10 short chapters. Each morning, I read a chapter a day to give me a positive thought to start the day with and something to think about.
I did enjoy the book and mostly liked the ideas presented, I was a bit disappointed. Firstly, the only "little thing" presented was the one on the title--make your bed. The other chapters are your standard, self-help ideas--never give up, be kind, etc. and while I also like and agree with these ideas, I was expecting more nontraditional ideas along the lines of bed making. The second disappointment was that almost all the author examples were taken from his Seal training, something I can't relate to.
It was a nice, positive way to start my day, just not quite what I was expecting.
