Calm: Educate Yourself in the Art of Remaining Calm, and Learn how to Defend Yourself from Panic and Fury by The School of Life

5.0

A cup of tea, piano music, candle light and this book.
The School of Life has made its footprint on my thoughts already for some time, and this is the first book I have read. A philosophical discussion of what it means to be calm in today's world, why a little bit of pessimism might improve our relationships and how sublime will shift your prespective.
None of these ideas will be completely new to followers of the School of Life / Alain de Botton, nonetheless you cannot hear this enough.
I loved the writing style, easy to read but urging you to read every word and not skim the pages.
