Modern life is exhausting: join the Calm revolution.

Absolutely everyone can achieve calm - including you - and in this book you'll learn how to take back a little bit of peace, space and all-important time.

Using a mixture of creative prompts, activities, instructions and inspiration, Calm will open your eyes to the pleasure and richness of your everyday life.

[PLEASE USE PRETTY BULLET POINTS FOR THE BELOW]

- Take a walk with nowhere to go
- Savour a chocolate on the tip of your tongue
- Get lost in a maze
- Pick a leaf, press a flower
- Turn off your phone for five short minutes

Calm is inspirational, practical and contains no rules - you make it whatever you want it to be. Pick up Calm whenever you need it, dip in and out, choose how you want to use it.

Be calm. Be free. Be yourself.

5.0 out of 5 starsA beautiful guide to living mindfully
By Dee Nolson on 30 Mar. 2017
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Although I've done so as a way into the book it's not designed to be a straight read, much more a dipping in and out of pages on random days as you need. Michael Acton Smith, the author, intends it to be used as a guide to daily journalling & meditation, which to my mind it does beautifully.

There are suggested templates in the book for journalling, I will be using a separate notebook as this isn't a journal in itself. So what is it?

It's a guide to calm, through appreciating the natural world, through finding our creativity and our passions, through mindful friendships and relationships, through quality sleep and through various exercises included throughout the book.

There are motivational quotes, beautiful illustrations and drawings, wisdom, a little science, and a number of meditations. I'll be honest, Iove it, and I can think of at least three friends who are getting this as a birthday present this year! Namaste 🕉️

This is a great guide.
