A beautifully designed day book to be marketed in conjunction with Calm.com, the next huge brand company
from the founder and former CEO of MindCandy.
-Mindfulness is a huge area and still growing: Martin Seligman, the inventor of Positive Psychology, has 3 million
views on TED.
-Studies and research, meditation exercises, inspirational quotes and images, recipes (including exclusive content
from Jamie Oliver) and creative activities appealing to the current trend for adult colouring books.
Trains delayed, kids squabbling before bedtime, endless emails filling the inbox: everyone needs more calm in
their life.
The evidence in favour of calmness is huge. Practices like meditation and mindfulness improve life expectancy,
productivity at work, health and even personal happiness. And you can reach Calm any way you like: take a walk
with nowhere to go, savour a chocolate on the tip of your tongue, plant a seed, doodle pointlessly, notice the world
around you. Smile, breathe and go slowly.
This unique handbook is filled with activities, inspiration and clearly explained research. It can be read in any order
you like, encouraging every reader to find their own path to calmness. Working with mindfulness gurus and
neurological experts alike, Michael Acton Smith has created a project that will finally bring Calm into the
mainstream.
