"What I dream of," wrote Henri Matisse, "is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter—a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue." These words, like a stroll through an exhibitions of Impressionist master, move us closer to that dream, gently reminding us that inner peace is achieving more simply than most of us think. Ashley Davis Bush's Shortcuts to Inner Peace clears paths to serenity that most of us never would have guessed existed. A quiet little guide to everyday tranquility.
