Reviews

[Jesse Christiansen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nora’s prose is as edifying as it is hopeful, straightforward, and well written. Tour de force in its healing content for the 21st century, this book should be a rite of passage for everyone.

Many of us think that we have a handle on stress, that we’re able to face the crooked, swerving road of life responsively and healthfully on our own. If you’re one of these people, than you need to read Mastering Tranquility. This book covers the key aspects of modern stresses, offering clear, detailed, sound information and strategies for confronting them in a practical and enlightened way. While it is a supplement to the healing process offered in the beautiful retreats outlined, one could still just benefit from the wonderful content of the book alone.

I shall always treasure this book, and plan to re-read it throughout the rest of my life. I thank the author warmly and enthusiastically for writing and publishing this book.

Yours in literature,
