Here is a book as necessary for today as breath. Shapiro is a great storyteller, and she guides us out of the dark woods

of fear, self-doubt, and powerlessness and into the calm within chaos —

huge subjects that she masters in a personal way so the reader can definitely say, ‘I can do it.’  

- Perie Longo, Santa Barbara Poet Laureate and author of Baggage Claim

​

THE BOOK OF CALM . . . is an extensively researched and intelligently written text that offers guidance and support for creating

a life infused with calm. The book’s friendly storytelling tone provides a layer of comfort, while its extensive use

of scientific research gives the writing even more credibility. Even the book's cover evokes a feeling of tranquility.
- Clarion Review 

​

A book that provides messages to help readers maintain calmness amid the many external

and internal factors that stand in the way. . . . Shapiro uses a variety of effective tools to present her ideas—

including stories, poetry, and scientific research . . . its eloquent ideas should satisfy an audience seeking tranquility.
