Book excerpt: The Majesty of Calmness is a classic and top-rated self-help book by the great American lecturer and essayist, William George Jordan. This famous self-help book contains the following lines: Calmness is the rarest quality in human life. It is the poise of a great nature, in harmony with itself and its ideals. It is the moral atmosphere of a life self-centred, self-reliant, and self-controlled. Calmness is singleness of purpose, absolute confidence, and conscious power, --ready to be focused in an instant to meet any crisis. The Sphinx is not a true type of calmness, --petrifaction is not calmness; it is death, the silencing of all the energies; while no one lives his life more fully, more intensely and more consciously than the man who is calm. The Fatalist is not calm. He is the coward slave of his environment, hopelessly surrendering to his present condition, recklessly indifferent to his future. He accepts his life as a rudderless ship, drifting on the ocean of time. He has no compass, no chart, no known port to which he is sailing. His self-confessed inferiority to all nature is shown in his existence of constant surrender. It is not, -- calmness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The man who is calm has his course in life clearly marked on his chart. His hand is ever on the helm. Storm, fog, night, tempest, danger, hidden reefs, --he is ever prepared and ready for them. He is made calm and serene by the realization that in these crises of his voyage he needs a clear mind and a cool head; that he has naught to do but to do each day the best he can by the light he has; that he will never flinch nor falter for a moment; that, though he may have to tack and leave his course for a time, he will never drift, he will get back into the true channel, he will keep ever headed toward his harbor. When he will reach it, how he will reach it, matters not to him. He rests in calmness, knowing he has done his best. If his best seem to be overthrown or overruled, then he must still bow his head, in calmness. To no man is permitted to know the future of his life, the finality. God commits to man ever only new beginnings, new wisdom, and new days to use the best of his knowledge

Book excerpt: William George Jordan (1864-1928) was an American editor and essayist. This style of speaking plainly about a principle and then drawing mind-pictures using analogies is a style that he utilized broadly in all his writings. It is style well suited to the general subject of self-improvement that was the focus of most of his publications. In The Majesty of Calmness, Jordan outlines ways in which we can improve our behavior and improve our lives. When we find our center and a calm place inside, many obstacles are more easily overcome.

Book excerpt: The Majesty of Calmness is one of William George Jordan's best-regarded self-help books; it discusses success as often being the result of past failures, and how haste in life and work is a scourge to be avoided. Working as a literary editor in New York City in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Jordan had ample experience of the bustling, non-stop urban lifestyle. Having a firm mental constitution to deal with the daily stresses and challenges of the concrete jungle is something which Jordan realized was all too essential; many who fall short do so not because of a lack of talent or luck, but overlooking the mental and psychological elements of weathering and succeeding in the world. With this in mind, Jordan sets out a series of topics and useful advice, with the final aim being attainment of happiness and a sense of accomplishment. The majesty of calmness - a serene mood that lets us consider the problems and possibilities before us - is contrasted to hurry, the hasty state that causes us to miss important details and subtleties. Since it first appeared in 1900, this book has been popular and much-consulted, its legacy being to successfully start many readers on the path to mental fortitude and a great mindset.

To be ready for the great crises of life we must learn serenity in our daily living. Calmness is the crown of self-control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Majesty of Calmness: Individual Problems and Possibilities NO man in the world ever attempted to wrong another without being injured in return, - some way, somehow, sometime. The only weapon of offence that Nature seems to recognize is the boomerang. Nature keeps her books admirably; she puts down every item, she closes all accounts finally, but she does not always balance them at the end of the month. TO the man who is calm, revenge is so far beneath him that he can not reach it, - even by stooping. When injured, he does not retaliate; he wraps around him the royal robes of Calmness, and he goes quietly on his way. When the hand of Death touches the one we hold dearest, paralyzes our energy, and eclipses the sun of our life, the calmness that has been accumulating in long years becomes in a moment our refuge, our reserve strength.
