British writer and artist James Norbury was inspired to write the book by his experiences as a volunteer at a helpline. He took notes and recorded his thoughts, and then, inspired by Buddhist philosophy, spirituality and mindfulness, created this book to share the ideas that helped him through difficult times.
The book can be read cover to cover or dipped into whenever inspiration is needed. James hopes that the words and images will inspire others to stop, be themselves, enjoy the silence, and look at life in a new way.
