Overview
A small āmuseumāāin book formā of calmĀ
A psychological guidebook that can help to quieten our worries and bring on a new mood of serenity and ease.Ā
Knowing how to be calm is one of lifeās greatest skills. It doesnāt matter how well our own life is going; if our mind is frantic, happiness will always be just out of reach.Ā
The third title in the '40 Images' series,Ā Calm in 40 ImagesĀ is a comprehensive guide to the art of calm.Ā Featuring the work of photographers and artists including Hiroshi Sugimoto, Gustav Klimt, Gwen John, Johannes Vermeer and Edward Hopper, alongside essays to invite contemplation, it takes us systematically through the many things that unsettle us and arrives at a range of solutions to ease our spirits.Ā Gustav Klimtās PearĀ Tree (1903) reminds us that we do not need a life of fame or melodramaticĀ relationships, we should instead make our peace with so-called ordinariness. Mark Salamonās photograph, The Rays (2020), accompanies a guided anxiety-reducing exercise that we can partake inĀ when the noise of the day has subsided.Ā
We are invited not just to understand calm, but to appreciate it with our eyes and, more crucially, discover it with all of our senses.Ā
