What business professional hasn’t been bombarded with an overload of things to do, people to interact with, and places that require their presence? Thanh Nguyen has written an important book to help people ratchet down the stress and bring peace into their lives. Calm in Chaos: Mindfulness and Meditation for Busy Professionals is a deceptively small book that can have an immense impact on one’s life. Thanh Nguyen provides readers with an introduction to the concept of ‘mindfulness’ and useful tips for incorporating meditation and mindfulness into their work days and their lives. She combines her corporate experience, scientific evidence, and knowledge of ancient practices to present these gems of wisdom. There is also a list of suggested reading for those who wish to further their knowledge of these concepts.
In Calm in Chaos, author Thanh Nguyen encourages readers to examine their “busyness” and ask themselves if this is how they want to live their lives. The message is one that many business professionals need to hear and heed. She provides meaningful counsel on not letting the past or the future meddle with one’s current doings. Each chapter is named – such as “How to Meditate” and “Navigate the Storm After Losing a Job” – so readers can quickly locate a particular section if the need should arise. Calm in Chaos would make an excellent gift for a new college graduate, someone who’s just been promoted, or perhaps even as a team resource for an entire staff. Just seeing the subdued colors of sand and stone on the cover brings about a peaceful feeling. Thanh Nguyen’s book is the perfect addition to corporate and home libraries.
