The Majesty Of Calmness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419171338)

The Majesty of Calmness is a self-help book written by William George Jordan, first published in 1900. The book is a collection of essays that focus on the importance of cultivating a calm and peaceful mind in order to achieve success and happiness in life. The author argues that the modern world is full of distractions and stresses that can easily overwhelm us, but by learning to cultivate inner peace and stillness, we can find a sense of clarity and purpose that will help us navigate life's challenges.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the importance of calmness. The first chapter discusses the power of silence and solitude, arguing that by taking time to be alone and quiet, we can tap into our inner wisdom and find a sense of peace and clarity. Other chapters explore the importance of self-control, the dangers of anger and impatience, and the benefits of living in the present moment.Throughout the book, the author uses examples from history and literature to illustrate his points, drawing on the wisdom of philosophers and thinkers from around the world. He also provides practical advice for cultivating calmness, such as practicing deep breathing and meditation, and learning to let go of negative thoughts and emotions.Overall, The Majesty of Calmness is a timeless classic that offers valuable insights into the importance of cultivating inner peace and stillness in a world that can often feel chaotic and overwhelming. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.Nature is very un-American. Nature never hurries. Every phase of her working shows plan, calmness, reliability, and the absence of hurry. Hurry always implies lack of definite method, confusion, impatience of slow growth. The Tower of Babel, the world's first skyscraper, was a failure because of hurry. The workers mistook their arrogant ambition for inspiration. They had too many builders, --and no architect. They thought to make up the lack of a head by a superfluity of hands. This is a characteristic of Hurry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
