Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Much more than merely a book about nothing, this is a concentrated guide to cultivating a sense of serenity. Simple-living expert Sarah Ban Breathnach calls it a "charming prescription for harried hearts and overwrought minds" that's "filled with persuasive reminders that we do too much and live too little". From its bits of well-taken wisdom ("Learn to say, 'I don't know'"), to tranquil seaside photos, to little lessons on how to meditate, procrastinate, even turn a bath or wine tasting into an intensely spiritual experience, The Art of Doing Nothing is bound to help even the most high-strung, PalmPilot-toting folks remember exactly how it feels to fully relax. --Erica Jorgensen

Synopsis
Suggests a variety of stress-reducing techniques, including breath control, meditation, reflexology, napping, hydrotherapy, aromatherapy, and silence.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great coffee table book, 13 April 1999
By A Customer
A beautifully laid out book that is a good reminder that we should all slow down. Reading the book and looking at the pictures just makes you want to kick up your feet and relax.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally readable, memorable exercises, real Art., 19 Oct 1998
By A Customer
The kind of book you will want to keep around to remind yourself that doing nothing could be a full time job. Beautiful writing,simple, memorable exercises. The photography is rich, subtle and deliciously sensual. This little book is intelligent and wise.
