Life is full of endless noise from your phone, the buzz of people, traffic, and television. You are also subject to internal noise—worries, fears, negative emotions, and racing thoughts. Fuelling stress and anxiety, this overload is harmful to your mental and physical health, distracting you from living a fulfilling, purposeful, and peaceful life.

Drawing on the practices, beliefs, and teachings of Buddhism, this book explains the causes of the 'noise', looking at your relationship with people, money, and technology. It reveals the benefits of turning your consciousness inwards and, with a new awareness, teaches you how to quieten your mind.

Offering powerful insights, simple tips, and helpful advice, A Quiet Mind is the key to achieving ease, finding balance, and calm in a chaotic world.
