Touchy-feely ''stress consultant'' Richard Carlson has written several reassuringly titled books (You Can Feel Good Again; You Can Be Happy No Matter What), but doubtless none has been quite so comforting to him (or to publisher Hyperion) as his current No. 1 paperback, which has amassed a whopping 1,229,458 copies in print while feeding upbeat bons mots like ''Become a Better Listener'' to simplicity-starved Americans. His next tome (due this fall)? Don't Worry, Make Money. We're not worried about you, Richard.
