Mastering the art of calm is one of life's most valuable skills. Without it, even the greatest advantages can feel hollow if our mind remains frantic. Calm in 40 images, the third title in the '40 images' series, offers a thorough guide to achieving tranquility. Featuring the works of renowned photographers and artists like hiroshi sugimoto, gustav klimt, gwen john, johannes vermeer, and edward hopper, this book combines stunning visuals with contemplative essays. It explores the many sources of our unrest and provides a variety of solutions to soothe our spirits. For instance, gustav klimt's pear tree 1903 gently reminds us that a peaceful life doesn’t require fame or dramatic relationships instead, we can find contentment in ordinary moments. Mark salamon's photograph, the rays 2020 , pairs with an anxiety-reducing exercise perfect for unwinding at the end of a hectic day. This book invites you not only to understand calm intellectually but also to experience and appreciate it through your senses. Key specs hardback cover 96 pp 140 x 203 mm
