"Unlock the potential (and the peace) that you know is within you. All great leaders, thinkers, artists, athletes, and visionaries share one indelible quality: the capacity for stillness. Sometimes cynically confused for idleness and ambivalence, stillness is actually the doorway to self-mastery, discipline, and focus. It's impossible to charge ahead in life without it. Stillness enables high achievers to conquer their tempers. To avoid distraction and discover great insights..." --From the dust jacket.
