Book Description
As a young husband and father, Mark learned he had cancer. Through two bouts of the disease that spanned four years, he chose the posture of a seeker. Even when pain and treatments stole his ability to work or focus for periods of time, he captured moments of his journey as images, thoughts, and prayers in the sketchbooks that were his constant companions. This book brings together those moving, heartfelt moments, and the result is honest art, wrenching emotions, a little humor, and authentic spirituality. Mark s story shows that even in the midst of pain and uncertainty, there can be peace and calm.

Book Description
This e-book is a shorter version of the paperback, with the same beautifully designed content excluding the practical exercise pages - perfect to dip in and out, and choose which bits work best for you. Join the Calm revolution. Modern life is hectic and relentless: trains delayed, endless emails filling the inbox, kids squabbling before bedtime... There has never been a more important time to rediscover your pause button. Calm is the book that will show you how to take back a little bit of peace, space and all-important calm. This book contains the simple tools, tricks and habits that will change the rest your life. It is a practical and pleasurable guide to twenty-first century mindfulness. Regular meditation is medically proven to be good for you - it increases focus and creativity, productivity and job satisfaction, mental and even physical health. But in reality most of us don't have time to sit on a cushion with our eyes closed for half an hour every day. And many people associate meditation with hard work and huge lifestyle shifts: you might be imagining Buddhist monks locked in a mountain retreat and living off gruel... This is where Calm comes in. Calm is about simple, achievable habits that work with the demands of your busy life instead of pretending those demands don't exist. Calm does not require specialist training: it uses abilities that every single one of us is born with, like creativity, spontaneity and simply noticing the world around you. Calm is not a set of rules that you need to worry about following or breaking. It is inspirational, practical and non-prescriptive. Onerous, time-consuming meditation might seem out of reach but everyone can achieve calm - including you. Calm combines extracts from fascinating neurological research with wisdom from history's great thinkers and the real-life experiences of individuals across the globe. It demystifies mindfulness and shows you the many simple ways to be mindful while carrying on with your life. It is also a beautifully crafted object, filled with artwork and artistry, that will change your perspective by showing you the pleasures of the world anew. Take a walk with nowhere to go, savour a chocolate on the tip of your tongue, plant a seed, doodle aimlessly, turn off your mobile phone for five short minutes. Smile, breathe and go slowly. Michael Acton Smith has written a game-changing book, one that will finally balance everyone's need for calm with the realities of modern life. Join the Calm revolution. Calm your mind; change your world. Calm.com @calm

Book Description
In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. We chase deadlines, scroll through endless feeds, and find ourselves caught in a constant state of "doing." In this relentless pursuit of achievement, we often neglect the most vital aspect of our well-being: our connection to ourselves and to the present moment. The yearning for peace and tranquility is universal. We search for it in meditation apps, yoga studios, and self-help books. But what if the answer to a calmer, more fulfilling life lay within something much simpler, something that connects us to our creative potential and brings us back to the present moment? Crafting, in all its forms, holds the key to unlocking this inner haven of peace. The act of creating, whether it be knitting a cozy scarf, shaping a clay pot, or painting a vibrant canvas, offers a unique and powerful path to mindfulness and self-discovery. In the rhythmic repetition of needles clicking, the tactile sensation of shaping clay, or the gentle caress of a brush on canvas, we find a space where our minds can quiet and our spirits can soar. It's in these moments of focused creation that we reconnect with our inner selves, finding a sense of calm, purpose, and fulfillment that transcends the chaos of daily life. This book is your invitation to explore this extraordinary journey. It's a journey of self-discovery, a journey where the act of creating becomes a powerful instrument for cultivating a sense of peace, purpose, and well-being. Within these pages, you'll find a wealth of insights, practical tips, and inspiring stories that will guide you on your path to Crafting Calm. You'll learn the science behind crafting and its impact on our mental well-being, discover mindful techniques for incorporating crafting into your daily routine, and be inspired by the stories of individuals who have found solace and joy in the creative process. So, put down your devices, pick up your favorite crafting tools, and let's embark on this transformative journey together. The path to Crafting Calm starts with you.

Book Description
Sir Karl Popper, the great philosopher, said, ?The real mystery in life is that the universe itself seems to be creative.' This book is an introduction to creativity with an essay on the connection between faith and fiction. It contains a few of the author's favorite ancient cultural myths, some folktales of recent times, and some original stories. These are ideal for reading to children. This book includes stories for families from our ancestors great and unknown; some are contemporary individualistic doodles in the sands of time that readers may simply enjoy. All of us should be telling the stories of our imaginations for the sake of our children and future generations, not only for their pleasure but wherein they might find a way forward through the mysteries and changes in life. The book has commentaries on the myths and finishes with an explanation of the purpose of myths that concludes with a challenge for modern myth making.

Book Description
Would ‘life’ hold any importance without ‘death’? Or is Death just the waking up from the dream called Life? Nature, the only child of Earth and Water, realizes the value of her being—her life as a creator only when death stands in front. But she is accidentally killed by her own mother, Earth. Unaware that it was an accident, Nature takes an oath while dying—she would take rebirth and wreak revenge on her parents for her murder. What would be her reincarnation like—awakening from a dream or enlightening the value of Life with Death?
