It’s a collection of short essay stories — some real, most updated retellings of Buddhist tales — like Ajahn Brahm’s book “Who Ordered This Truckload of Dung.” His teachings have always had outdated gender attitudes, which I’ve generally put down to his age and isolation as a monk. Yet he has one story about a nagging wife and another where he talks about how lowered expectations can make life easier and uses the example of marrying an ugly wife so you don’t have to worry about her being seduced away. Ugh. There’s also a powerful (and true) story where he gives radical advice to a woman who has been devastated by a rape. In one of his live podcast talks, he told this story and it irked me, but there are added details in this version that make it much more meaningful. Anyway, the thoughtful and thought-provoking stories outnumber the head-shaking ones so I personally was glad I read it but others may not be so forgiving. Excerpt: “I don’t expect to be perfect. In fact, I like making mistakes. Because when I tell my friends about the stupid things that I have done, it makes them laugh. My stupidity increases the happiness in the world.” Grade: B ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fun, Joyous & Heart-Changing Ride!!! *by I***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2016* Such a beautiful book, and such a joyous spirit!Full Disclosure: I recently interviewed Ajahn Brahm for our Inspire Nation Show...I think he broke the laughter-per-minute quota!!!What an amazing soul, and he shares fantastic story after story after story to help us 'get it'...and it's hard not to after reading his book. It's a treatise for life, wrapped up in short, bite-size, entertaining stories. Each one is it's own fortune cookie telling it's own tale, and it's own lesson.It's hard not to get sucked into the stories, and then reflect them back to our own lives...which is exactly the point. He helps us realize the grandeur, the beauty, the silliness, the ease, and the difficulty that is all around us, and helps us learn how to let it all go, and to simply be in the moment.In that sense, Don't Worry, Be Grumpy is a very powerful tool, wrapped up with a smile. ### ⭐⭐⭐ When you're grumpy --it's ok. "Feeling" your feels is part of the package. *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2018* Meh. I LOVE Ajahn Brahm, but I had heard these stories already watching his YouTube videos. Great to give a friend, though. Nice, short friendly stories. When you hear them "live," you get the interpretations and the ramifications to everyday life explained. I'd leave this in a doctor's office where someone might pick it up and read a few, to their benefit! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/146389955-dont-worry-be-grumpy-inspiring-stories-for-making-the-most](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/146389955-dont-worry-be-grumpy-inspiring-stories-for-making-the-most) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
