Overview

Infuse Your Life with tranquility, Panache, and A Dash of Joie De Vivre

As defined by the author, "a tranquilista is a woman who embraces her many sides: spiritual (she's a tranquility-seeker), creative (loves style), and entrepreneurial (calls her own shots). She hears fashion and philanthropy . . . entertaining and enlightenment . . . . She is full of aspirations and always seeking inspiration. Oh, and she sparkles. Literally."

Presenting a potpourri of real-world tips, inspiration from modern-day muses, and savvy sources for further exploration, Tranquilista offers everything you need to bring balance and bliss into your everyday life. With spirituality as its foundation, the book highlights creative individual expression and offers an entrepreneurial approach to everything from homemaking to brand building. Step-by-step projects and to-dos cover a tranquilista's key pursuits: meditation, setting goals, personal style, living green, and even launching a nonprofit. The aim throughout is to help you realize-and revel in-your unique potential to make a splash and make a difference.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In this pithy, would-be full-service self help, Wilson seeks to motivate women to be their best selves, without losing sight of what makes us human. Helpful and humorous, Wilson's friendly style is welcoming, if occasionally cringe-inducing (cutesy internet vernacular, like substituting "heart" for "like," is sure to wear on certain readers). Attempting to cover a broad range of women's lifestyle topics-eating better, exercising, going green, finding inner peace, entrepreneurship-Wilson's guide is occasionally scanty on details, and heavily lopsided toward the aspiring businesswoman: eating suggestions span little more than a page, while nearly half the text is devoted to small business growth. As an accomplished entrepreneur (founder of a women's advocacy group and her own "eco-fashion" line), Wilson's business advice is valuable and well-considered, but would served better in a more narrow, career-focused volume, rather than as part of a holistic guide to life.
Library Journal
Passionate yogini and author Wilson (Hip Tranquil Chick) aims to inspire young women to design their lives with "mindful extravagance"—embracing the fun and fashionable while practicing healthy living and doing good for society at large. To do this requires balance in the areas of spirituality, creativity, and entrepreneurship, and Wilson offers a wide variety of suggestions. The book boils down to a compendium on meditation, yoga, arts and crafts, and starting a business that functions as a jumping-off point for further investigation. Young women who are looking for direction or something more will undoubtedly enjoy this.

    How to become a tranquilista.

    Kimberly Wilson takes burgeoning Tranquilistas on a journey to find how to balance work and play, while bringing more tranquility in our everyday lives. The modern woman often gets caught up in the daily hassles in life and overlooks tranquility. Wilson provides oodles of tips and tricks as to how to incorporate more tranquility into life, through sipping tea, do-gooding, yoga, etc. The second half of the book is an encouraging guide to becoming your own entrepreneur, while gently reminding us that having the most eco-fabulous booming business will not happen over night. Tranquilista is a great guide for women who are wanting to start their own business or enhance their current career and life path, or women who want to simply have control in their lives.

    Great book for yoga lifestyle beginners

    I bought this book because I was especially interested in the bit about "being your brand". I work in a job which seemingly conflicts with my meditation, yoga, and organic foods lifestyle. This book is great for those new to the lifestyle. Mostly I found the book describing what I'm already doing. Kimberly Wilson is an entrepreneur and a lot of the advice would be very useful for those starting a business. The book isn't really labeled to indicate that. I'm still searching for "my brand" at work and was interested to discover that one of Kimberly's yoga studios is quite close to where I live. I may drop in for a class!
