Annie Payson Call, a Boston teacher of relaxation, writes about the tensions people create for themselves: resisting circumstances, nursing resentments, lying awake, fretting over difficult relatives. Chapter by chapter she offers quiet, practical habits of mind and body for sleeping restfully, yielding where resistance is useless and adjusting to the people one must live with.
Gentle, sensible advice from the turn of the twentieth century that anticipates much of today’s writing on stress. Download the free EPUB.
