A guide to developing the art of finding serenity by understanding the sources of our anxiety and frustrations.
Almost all of us wish we could be calmer; it is one of the distinctive longings of the modern age.
Across history people have sought adventure and excitement,however a new priority for many of us is a desire to be more tranquil. This is a book designed to support us in our endeavours to remain calm against all the adversities life throws at us.
A calm state of mind is not a divine gift,we can alter our responses to everyday things and educate ourselves in the art of remaining calm,not through slow breathing or special teas,but through thinking.
This is a book that explores the causes of our greatest stresses and anxieties and gives us a succession of highly persuasive,beautiful and sometimes dryly comic arguments with which to defend ourselves against panic and confusion.
Part of a new essential paperback series from The School of Life,covering a range of emotional lessons needed in order to lead fulfilled and happy lives.
