About the Author

Paul Wilson thrives in a number of worlds where peace and life balance are longed for but seldom achieved. As well as an international bestselling author, he is a businessman, meditation teacher and director of a medical research foundation. Paul is known as the 'guru of calm'. He has created a string of bestsellers on the topic of calm - ranging from his introduction to meditation, The Calm Technique, to Instant Calm and Calm at Work, through to the book that inspired the 'little book' phenomenon that swept the world, The Little Book of Calm. These have been translated into dozens of languages. He is also the author of Perfect Balance. What they say about Paul Wilson "The world's coolest man." NBC TV (US) "Wonderfully free of new age jargon. For once we're not disappointed." Triple J FM "Nothing like the usual pedlars of inner peace."

New Woman "World authority on how to be calm." Nature & Health Paul Wilson is the chairman of a Sydney advertising a
