Calm Reflections brings together an inspirational selection of powerful and life-affirming phrases that have in one way or another helped people to live less stressful lives, and combines them with evocative and gently amusing animal photographs that bring out the full humour and pathos of the human condition.

We all have too much to do and not enough time to do it in, and rush around getting ever more tired and stressed-out. These inspiring examples of wit and wisdom, written by real people based on their true-life experiences, enable us to slow down, rethink our priorities and rediscover our love of life. As two of the entries so aptly put it – enjoy the little things, and take life as it comes.

So take it easy, relax and chill out!
