Overview
A timely Zen guide for those seeking emotional stability, self-compassion, and inner peace in an anxious and perfection-driven world
A new book in the Zen Ways series from the hosts of the popular The Way Out Is In podcast
In an age marked by climate anxiety, social fragmentation, and unrelenting pressure to perform, Calm in the Storm is a much-needed anchor. This deeply compassionate guide invites readers to cultivate inner stability in a world that often feels on the brink. Rather than offering quick fixes or bypassing pain, Zen teacher Brother Phap Huu and sustainability expert Jo Confino draw on timeless teachings to help readers meet the chaos of modern life with grounded presence and resilience.
Through intimate stories, mindfulness practices, and heartfelt reflections, the authors gently guide us back to ourselves—back to a place where we can breathe, feel, and respond with clarity rather than react with fear. Whether facing personal overwhelm or collective grief, Calm in the Storm offers a path toward rooted compassion and meaningful engagement.
Readers will learn to:
• Cultivate emotional balance, belonging, and self-compassion
• Navigate perfectionism, self-judgment, and burnout with mindfulness
• Connect with the wisdom of their ancestors and inner child
• Integrate Zen teachings into everyday moments and social change
• Find their center in a time of polycrisis, climate fear, and global uncertainty
Grounded in wisdom yet deeply relatable, this book is not just a guide—it’s an invitation to step fully into your own humanity. If you’re ready to break free and live with greater ease, this is your roadmap.
