Description

Stress and anxiety are hard to avoid while struggling with work pressures, money worries, strained relationships, and the nagging sense that life may be running out of our control. But in the midst of chaos it's possible to find balance, peace, and even wisdom, Easwaran says, if readers learn to steady their minds. It's a simple idea, but one that runs deep -- a truly calm mind can weather any storm. A highly respected teacher of meditation, Eknath Easwaran offers a wealth of insights, real-life stories, and practical suggestions to help readers try something more successful the next time stressors arise.
