The School Of Life - The Calm Workbook

A guide to greater serenity

A therapeutic and consoling workbook with exercises to soothe
anxiety and create a state of calm

Most of us long to be a little calmer: too many of our days are lost
to agitation and worry, stress and discord. Yet we know that we are
at our best when we can manage not to panic and take challenges
in our stride

Fortunately, a calm state of mind is not a divine gift. Even those of
us starting from a more agitated position can systematically
understand and lay claim to it. Too many books on this subject
simply explain what it would be like to be calm. This is a workbook
that takes us through the practical steps required to actually
become calm. It is filled with exercises and prompts that deliver the
self-understanding and self-compassion on which true serenity
depends. Furthermore, the book invites us to build calming routines
into our daily lives so that what we learn can stick with us and
change us for the long term

Based on years of The School of Life’s work in the area of anxiety
and calm, this is a landmark workbook guaranteed to bring about
the calmer state of mind we long for and deserve

Chapters include:

- Learning to Handle Moods
- Philosophical Meditation
- No one is Normal
