Nancy G. Shapiro advocates calm as a Professional Certified Coach, writer, and workshop leader. She is the author of the author of The Road to Calm blog, and a master facilitator of writing/well-being workshops held around the world. Her expertise is supporting people through inevitable shifts in their personal and professional lives. She lives and works in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

Using real-life stories, scientific concepts, and awareness tools, The Book of Calm challenges the constraints of inevitable change and a turbulent world with a spirited, dynamic stance of clarity, compassion, and choice. Transitions expert Nancy G. Shapiro moves gracefully and deliberately through subjects as diverse as welcoming paradox, fierce self-care, power and conversation, and the difficult task of connecting with others when faced with our thousand-fold differences—providing convincing evidence for the idea that people stuck in fear or indecision can experience profound insights and break harmful habits when they let go of old beliefs and move into their own wisdom. Inspiring and compelling, The Book of Calm supports and inspires readers to reimagine and renew their lives and their place in the world by transforming habitual patterns ingrained in their thoughts, language, and behaviors—one person, one family, one community at a time.
