William George Jordan 
The Majesty of Calmness 
Individual Problems and Possibilities

First published in 1900, ‘The Majesty of Calmness’ is an inspired self-help book by William George Jordan. A master of mental training, Jordan explores the concept of calmness and how it can affect one’s life and well-being. This book will appeal to those with an interest in self-betterment, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection.
