‘Impossibly wonderful’ Daily Telegraph Find peace in a restless world.

‘James’s heartfelt gentleness and masterful wisdom shine through in his teachings. His expertise lies in his ability to light the path for others to find their own way.’ Richard Miller, clinical psychologist, researcher and yogic scholar.

In today’s fast-paced world, we’ve never been busier. We’re surrounded by pressures from work, family, study and social media. It can feel like there’s never time to truly switch off and relax.

But the answer is simpler than you think – and it’s within you.

Through simple, easily learned techniques The Book of Rest reveals how to find a moment of peace even in the busiest of days, and a path to a calmer, happier and more relaxed you.
