<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A guide to developing the art of finding serenity, not through meditation, but through understanding the sources of our anxiety and frustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A guide to developing the art of finding serenity, not through meditation, but through understanding the sources of our anxiety and frustrations.</b><p><b><br></b> <p/></p><p>Few life skills are as neglected, yet as important, as the ability to remain calm. Our very worst decisions and interactions are almost invariably the result of a loss of calm - and a descent into anxiety and agitation. Surprisingly, but very fortunately, our power to remain calm can be rehearsed and improved. We don't have to stay where we are now: our responses to everyday challenges can dramatically alter.</p><p><br></p><p>We can educate ourselves in the art of keeping calm not through slow breathing or special teas but through thinking. This is a book that patiently unpacks the causes of our greatest stresses and gives us a succession of highly persuasive, beautiful and sometimes dryly comic arguments with which to defend ourselves against panic and fury.</p><p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>***What readers are saying*** <br>This book is beautifully written and incredibly comforting. The writing itself makes you feel calm, and it seems to instill a seed of hope in you that you really can lead a more calm and peaceful life. <br>Beautifully written application of philosophy to everyday life. Highly recommended. <br>Engaging. Insightful. Well thought out arc of ideas on and around 'calm' with tangible activities one can immediately implement. <br>What an amazing book! The structure, the wording, the examples and the references in history makes this piece a real gem. When you are going after calm in life, calm will not happen but, when you are going after a calmer life, calm will prevail. Brilliant. <br>A wonderful book that explores all aspects of being calm. <br>This book has helped me in an unimaginable way.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>The School of Life is a global organization helping people lead more fulfilled lives.
