From the bestselling author of The Obstacle
Is The Way and Ego is The Enemy, this new
book features tools for reintegrating ancient
philosophy into our chaotic 21st century
lives, especially the concept of stillness. All
the philosophies of the ancient world —
from Buddhists to Christians — spoke of it
as the most powerful force on earth. It is the
ability to slow things down, to clarify your
thinking, to be steady while the world spins.
The question is: how can you find it and
what might be possible if you did? Let this
book show you how to open the door to a
healthier, calmer and less anxious way living.
