The Serenity Experiment: Searching for Personal Peace in a World That Won’t Slow Down
A thought experiment is an instrument of the imagination, employed for many purposes–to entertain, educate, explore, or hypothesize. In response to a pandemic and social unrest, David Howell decided to begin such an experiment. He wanted to see what would happen if he became as serene as possible. He set out regularly on his bicycle to parks near his home just to sit still, eventually ritualizing the activity until it became a habit. The result is The Serenity Experiment, a book of reflections on the impact serenity can have on the self as it relates to surroundings and community.

The Serenity Experiment is a book to read slowly. Take a few notes. There are wonderful book references, poem references and philosophical references. Give yourself time to reflect on your personal serenity. It's different for everyone and achieving it is also different for everyone.
David Howell finds his serenity by biking to local parks and sitting. He watches the wildlife and people who might share the park with him. He has a beer, a sandwich and writes down what he's learned from his time in the park. It has changed his life.
Open your mind and take The Serenity Experiment.
