HACHETTE ANTOINE | Stillness is the Key (PB)

FEATURES:

✅ Throughout history, there's been one indelible quality that great leaders, makers, artists and fighters have shared.

✅ The Zen Buddhists described it as inner peace, the Stoics called it ataraxia and Ryan Holiday calls it stillness   

✅ the ability to be steady, focused and calm in a constantly busy world.

 ✅ This quality, valued by every major school of thought from Buddha to Seneca, John Stuart Mill to Nietzsche, is urgently necessary today.

✅ And, Holiday shows, it is entirely attainable. Just as Winston Churchill used bricklaying as a time to recharge and reflect, or Oprah Winfrey learned deep empathy from her quiet childhood, we can all benefit from stillness to feed into our greater ambitions

✅ whether winning a battle, building a business, or simply finding happiness, peace and self-direction.

✅ Filled with wisdom and examples from historical and contemporary figures, this book shows how to cultivate this quality in your own life. 

✅ Because stillness is not merely inactivity, but the doorway to the self-mastery, discipline and focus necessary to succeed in this competitive, noisy world.
