A revelatory, pragmatic, and beautifully rendered companion for the
millions suffering from mental health issues
An invaluable resource for anyone struggling with anxiety, fear, or
depression, The Art of Calm is a lifesaving and inspiring guidebook
that empowers us to break free from the emotional bondage of mental
illness. Bursting with deep personal insight and uplifting practical
guidance, this remarkable and therapeutic journey begins by charting the
author's own devastating psychological descent-which included panic
attacks so severe they landed him in the emergency room. When the
medical system proved unable to provide sustained help, however, a
floundering Roger Hutchison turned to his faith for guidance. The
healing path God led him on was nothing short of miraculous, offering
not only authentic spiritual renewal but also a profound sense of
belonging in a world where he once only felt like a stranger.
Weaving these personal stories with thoughtful questions, journaling
prompts, and a wide range of inspirational practices, Hutchison creates
a self-help tapestry of compassion, vulnerability, and action. At the
end of each chapter, a colorful variety of reflections and creative
exercises-from photography, music, and meditation to cooking, hiking,
and art- encourage readers to get up and discover a more centered and
peaceful life. The result is an essential tool for finding tranquility
in the midst of both inner and outer turmoil.
