Ten Key Principles for a Healthier Mind and Inner Harmony

An old saying is ‘that charity starts at home’. Experienced psychologist and professional life coach, Chantal Kayem takes this a little further by recognizing and advocating that being compassionate to oneself and looking after one’s own personal health are the most important ingredients to a peaceful life. 

Drawing on her 21 years as a psychologist, who has worked with over 3,000 clients, the author has a written an excellent book, “The Art of a Peaceful Life”, in which she has used a straightforward approach to facilitating the readers in creating a richer, more fulfilling life for themselves.

 Each easy-to-read chapter focusses on one of the ten principles: the ‘points to remember’ at the end summarizing the important ideas. With well-structured chapters, which include a real life’ situation, it offers practical guidance in a straightforward language.  One of the advantages of this work is that it does not need to be read from cover to cover, instead readers can turn to the chapter which could help with their current situation.

Although there are many ‘self-help’ books on the market, this one is a standout as it supports reflection, growth and self-understanding. By providing an additional reading list and blank planners, readers are able to use this as a handy manual to make for a happier, more peaceful and richer life.
