The Quiet by Paul Wilson
Imagine there is a place where you can’t be touched by the noise and tensions of the modern world. Where, no matter what’s going on around you, you can find time and space and room to breathe. This place exists. It’s called the Quiet. Some people spend a lifetime of meditation practice and spiritual studies trying to find it. You can be on your way there in as little as 13 minutes. The Quiet practices are centred around four simple steps (three physical, one mental) that transform your mental state and the way you feel. There’s never been a more pressing need for the peace of mind, clarity of thought, emotional stability and physical wellbeing that flow from these practices. There’s never been a more pressing need for ‘The Quiet’.

How to be Idle by Tom Hodgkinson
As Oscar Wilde said, doing nothing is hard work. The Protestant work ethic has most of us in its thrall, and the idlers of this world have the odds stacked against them. But here, at last, is a book that can help. From Tom Hodgkinson, editor of the Idler, comes HOW TO BE IDLE, an antidote to the work-obsessed culture which puts so many obstacles between ourselves and our dreams. Hodgkinson presents us with a laid-back argument for a new contract between routine and chaos, an argument for experiencing life to the full and living in the moment. Ranging across a host of issues that may affect the modern idler sleep, the world of work, pleasure and hedonism, relationships, bohemian living, revolution he draws on the writings of such well-known
