Summary of Calm 

4.7 . 3747 reviews

Short summary

In today’s fast-paced world, the noise and chaos seem to put us in a frenzied state of mind. People are constantly bombarded with information, surrounded by negativity and pressure. All these make it almost impossible to relax. As a result, mental health illnesses are on the rise, and we yearn for silence, peace, and calm. “Calm: Working Through Life’s Daily Stresses to Find a Peaceful Center” helps you to find your way back to calm. It offers practical steps to easing stress and surviving in a world of chaos. The author, Fearne Cotton, has been a TV presenter since the age of 15. She’s a social media influencer and team captain on “Celebrity Juice.” Her other programs include “The BBC Music Awards,” “Top of the Pops” with Reggie Yates, and live broadcasts from both the Royal Wedding and the Princess Diana concert for BBC. In this summary, she shares expert advice — from experience and conservations with friends from all walks of life — on the simple things that can help you access your inner calm. “Calm for me is less about thought and much more about feeling. It is a stillness that allows my lungs to expand like hot air balloons. It is an acceptance of the noise around me.” ~ Fearne Cotton

Finding and maintaining calm is solely your responsibility

Listen the first key point
00:00
00:00
Calm is a state of serenity — a feeling of connectedness and safety even when everything seems hectic. It is not forcing yourself to meditate or be still, neither is it ignoring the chaos out there.

It is possible to feel calm in this day and age when we have drifted our focus so far from the basic experience of being human. You can feel calm amidst the chaos and have the time to breathe when you are faced with work deadlines, children’s activity schedules, pressurized social lives, and outside expectations.

It is possible to find and maintain calm in all your endeavors, and this is solely your responsibility.
Calm is key if you want to live a happy and peaceful life.
This summary will help you understand the extreme power and value that calm can bring. The more you understand how important calm is for your mind, general well-being, relationships, and outlook on the world, the more time you will spend trying to route back to it.

Calm is omnipresent and ever-glowing, just waiting for you to remember its truth and power. If you want to lock into your inner calm a little more frequently, or perhaps you feel you have lost the ability to locate it all together, this summary will act as a map for you to get back.
second key point

Our bodies seem to be the first and fastest route to finding calm

Sometimes, you feel frantic and erratic and decide to pace the floor or take a walk; your first step in the direction of calm is purely physical. Lying on the floor for a few minutes with your eyes closed can also help you maintain calm. Slowing your body down or giving it a gentle, steady movement will make everything seem to align that much quicker.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
