- few life skills are as neglected, yet as important as the ability to remain calm and our very worst decisions and interactions are usually the result of a loss of calm and a descent towards anxiety and agitation
- fortunately, our power to remain calm can be rehearsed and improved and we can educate ourselves in the art of remaining calm not through slow breathing or special teas but through thinking
- this is a book that patiently unpacks the causes of our greatest stresses and gives us a succession of highly persuasive, beautiful and sometimes dryly comic arguments with which to defend ourselves against panic and fury
- includes chapters on romantic expectations, the weakness of strength, unintended hurt, the defense of politeness, patience, colleagues, the sources of calm, and the quiet life
