Calm
How do we find calm in our frantic modern world? Tim Parks — lifelong sceptic of all things spiritual — finds himself on a Buddhist meditation retreat trying to answer this very question. With brutal honesty and dry wit, he recounts his journey from disbelief to something approaching inner peace and tackles one of the great mysteries of our time — how to survive in this modern age.
Selected from the book Teach us to Sit Still by Tim Parks
