This book is beautifully designed and very well organized. Johanna Bassols writes very well and has this book broken down into sections that are easy to read and make sense.

I have to admit, I don't have much patience with self-help books. Many of them go all "woo" on you, or repeat themselves endlessly, saying the same thing over and over again, or just present things in a way that makes you feel like only perfect people can do all that. This isn't one of those books. Bassols offers gentle, easy instructions on four basic principles- meditation, visualization, implementation, and internalization- then moves to different aspects of our lives that we might wish to achieve more calm in. While the four principles are repeated with each aspect, they are tweaked to fit the situation, so it doesn't feel like repetition so much as how to application, how to apply these actions to suit your needs. You're essentially learning how to reprogram your thinking to be better able to achieve a sense of calm. I appreciate that through all this, the text never feels wibbly wobbly woo, if you get what I mean- it feels practical, it's good advice, I can actually see myself using the techniques and being successful for doing so. The book is set up nicely, with a good flow throughout; you can go through from start to finish easily, but if you prefer, you can skip around through the exercises without feeling like you've disrupted the flow. Visually, the book is calming, with soft colors, touches of gold, and flowing shapes bordering the text on each page. I don't recommend a lot of self-help books, but I'd definitely recommend this one.

This book was received as an ARC from Quarto Publishing Group - Rockpoint in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I absolutely loved the structure, content and language used in this book. Find Your Calm is pure genius and it will sure change lives all over. When I first opened the book, I felt like the angels were singing and had the urge to continue reading and I am sure glad I did. I could not help but love the breakdown of Meditate, Visualize, Implement, and Internalize and while I was reading I tried some of the exercises and they worked with a lot of situations I am dealing with right now. I can not wait to recommend this book to our patrons and pay it forward.

We will consider adding this title to our Self-Help collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

I am a self confessed self help book junky and Find Your calm was such a beautiful and practical read.

The book has great tips for helping to find your calm, transform your mind and find peace in your life. The book is so beautifully presented and would make the perfect gift for friends or loved ones.

It is a timely read for anyone that maybe struggling right now with the global pandemic we are all currently facing.

Although i did not find many of the tips etc to be any different from other self-help books previously read of the same nature. I did however enjoy the content and it is always great to refresh your mind and it is a book that I would love to add to my collection.

This book is certainly beautiful! I love the marble-style backgrounds. It's just a shame the book doesn't have much substance! Nothing new or original, the same-old-same-old stuff.
Didn't get much from this book at all, beautiful to look at - but nothing that will actually stay with me, or change my way of life!

[Colette Brennan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beautiful book with many different exercises for you to gain more knowledge on triggers and causes of your own personal stress. A teacher in a secondary school, I found that I could use some of the exercises to help pupils who were finding the return to school after lockdown difficult. Helpful book which enables you to recognise those inner demons and take control and Find Your Calm!

First the book is beautiful and the colors are very soothing. I enjoyed the process of working through each section of the book. There are meditations throughout and very helpful instructions on being mindful and present. I will be implementing a few of the meditations into my well being routines.

I will start by saying that this book is beautiful. The cover, the pages, the titles, all of it is very pretty and very cohesive and that’s definitely a plus in my book. I tough the language used was very accessible and not overly scientific, as can be the case in many self-help books. Unfortunately for me, this book didn’t really have any new information or techniques. If you are a person who regularly reads this genre you probably won’t find this very useful. I enjoyed reading this, even though I found it a bit repetitive, and I would recommend it for people who don’t usually pick up self-help books and would like to give them a try.

I received an eArc via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
