This book was very interesting as it offers lots of advice and experience on inter-grating Calm into the many different aspects of life, and offers activities to help us get more in touch with and develop our own version of Calm. It is definitely a book I will be dipping back in and out of when I need to reconnect with my Calm

I was kindly gifted ‘Calm’ for Christmas from my beautiful Mam, as she remembered just how much I enjoyed Fearne previous book ‘Happy’. This sequel absolutely did not disappoint.
This book series is ultimately self-help/ memoir, which I think works perfectly. The power of sharing personal experiences is very underrated, and it is very helpful to know that the tasks Fearne suggests throughout the book are tried & tested by HER.
Her chatty style of writing takes relaxation through reading to a whole new level, like having a craic with a good friend (& who doesn’t need more of that right now).
I particularly enjoyed the paragraphs about keeping CALM at work, CALM friends and CALM family. The lessons from this book are accessible & hugely valuable.

I'm a big fan of Fearne so I was always going to enjoy elements of this book. I didn't devour it as quickly or as intensely as I did "Happy", but it was a pleasant and uplifting read. I'm in two minds as to whether or not to read "Quiet" as I'm unsure how it can differ much from the first two books.

I really struggled to get into this book. I love Fearne herself but I found this very self indulgent and quite simplistic in its advice. I think there are far better self help books out there covering similar ground in a much more thought provoking and relevant way.
