What to expect
Read by the author, Chris Bailey, the bestselling author of Hyperfocus.
'The most productive man you'd ever hope to meet' – TED
A toolkit of accessible, science-backed strategies, How to Calm Your Mind reveals the path to a less anxious life, and even greater productivity, through calm.
Chris Bailey, researcher and productivity expert, realized he had burnt out. He was pushing himself too hard, and realized that productivity advice is useless without the mental space to use it.
Productivity advice works – and we need it now more than ever – but it’s just as important that we also develop our capacity for calm. By finding calm and overcoming anxiety, we don’t just feel more comfortable in our own skin, we invest in the missing piece that leads our efforts to become sustainable over time. We build a deeper, more expansive reservoir of energy to draw from throughout the day, and have greater mental resources at our disposal not only to do good work, but also to live a good life.
In How to Calm Your Mind, you'll discover:
- How to achieve calm when burnout is looming
- How society affects calm and anxiety
- How to feel less stressed and more engaged
- How to create healthy habits for sustained productivity
The pursuit of calm ultimately leads us to become more engaged, focused and deliberate – while making us more productive and satisfied with our lives overall. In an anxious world, achieving calm is the best life hack around, and this book is your guide.

Not a typical, boring self help book, but a very well researched and structured guide that everyone dealing with anxiety could find particularly useful.
