Book Description

October 1, 1999

Based on years of experience, author, speaker and renowned stress management expert Brian Luke Seaward wrote The Art of Calm, a compendium of practical and powerful ways to bring a sense of peace into readers' lives almost instantaneously.

Each calming tip is conveniently organized into the various senses of touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing as well as the divine sense. At any time during the day, readers can turn to a page and practice a particular calming method. From practical to playful, sensuous to sublime, each idea is doable and eloquently written. By practicing an idea every day, this book will help people identify and deal with their life's stressors and establish healthy, calming routines to help them stay focused on their goals.

This is a perfect gift book for busy executives, parents, or anyone facing stress in their life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Business Associates appreciate that it's in my office, September 23, 2000

This review is from: The Art of Calm: Relaxation Through the Five Senses (Paperback)
I keep a copy of The Art of Calm on a corner of my desk in clear view. I put it there for me but now find that my associates appreciate it too! During particularly hectic, stressful times someone will reach for the Art of Calm, flip open to any page and find something that is helpful for getting through that moment! It is usually shared.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Peace I ask of thee 'O river ... peace, peace, peace", April 27, 2000
By 
This review is from: The Art of Calm: Relaxation Through the Five Senses (Paperback)
Those words from my favorite Girl Scout song ran through my mind as the pages of this book flipped past. In words and actions that most would call "common sense", Dr. Seaward reminds us of countless ways to bring Peace and Calm back in our lives. A pretty little book on the outside ... And, on the inside it reveals to us simple magic ways to breathe "Calm" into our hectic lives. Give yourself a "gift" of "Calm"!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Small Book with a Big Soul, January 6, 2008

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Art of Calm: Relaxation Through the Five Senses (Paperback)
Luke has been writing, teaching and helping people touch deep within themselve for many years. A "James Taylor" look a like, his words are just as powerful as James Taylor songs.

In my cancer center setting I have used the concepts offered in The Art of Calm to help employees and patients step away for just a little and bring calm into their lives. This past year I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and my mediation practice has been strengthened by Lukes concept of finding calm in the things around us.

I now teach a workshop at M. D. Anderson called the Art of Calm, using this book as a guide. My recommendation - if you are looking for touching deeper.........you can't beat Luke Seawards work! This is a great book to start with.
