PRODUCT INFORMATION

Summary

A soothing gallery of artworks and photography to guide us on a journey towards calm.

Description

Knowing how to be calm deserves to be counted as life's greatest skill, for even if we have every other possible advantage, so long as our mind is frantic, we will never taste the happiness we seek.

This ingenious small book is nothing less than a comprehensive guide to the art of calm. It takes us systematically through the many things that unsettle us and arrives at a range of solutions to ease our spirits and usher in a less fretful and anguished perspective.

Throughout the book, entries are accompanied by images that invite contemplation and generate small moments of joy. We are invited not just to understand calm but to appreciate it with our eyes and discover it with our senses.

The book amounts to a small museum of calm and a psychological guidebook that can help to quieten our worries and bring on a new mood of serenity and ease.

Critic Reviews

Praise for Confidence in 40 Images: "These entries imaginatively connect confidence and make for a thought-provoking and wide-ranging exploration. Those seeking an extra shot of self-esteem will be rewarded." - Publishers Weekly
