All Is Calmish

Stop forcing holiday cheer and start embracing the season in a way that truly resonates with you. Discover simple, daily strategies for cultivating peace, balance, and genuine joy as you navigate the holidays with grace.

Merry and bright? Yeah, right. During the holidays, many of us are anything but cheerful. Thanksgiving, Diwali, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year's often make us frazzled and frantic. Stressed and stretched. Distressed and depressed.

From psychotherapist Niro Feliciano, author of This Book Won't Make You Happy and frequent TODAY show contributor, comes a book to help you move beyond holiday pressures and maintain perspective when it matters most. All Is Calmish dispenses a therapist's strategies for surviving the season. As a mother of four and sought-after expert on mental health, Feliciano sees our valiant attempts to be happy and create a magical holiday. Meanwhile we are actually exhausted and anxious from managing family drama, loneliness, grief, crazy schedules, and overwhelming debt. The truth is, the holidays can be the hardest time of the year. But with Feliciano's help, they don't have to be.

In thirty-one short chapters, Feliciano gives us daily prompts and rituals rooted in research, brain science, and the wisdom of spiritual traditions, to help us set boundaries, create meaningful connections, start new traditions, and manage the season with greater ease.

While the holidays may not be perfect, All Is Calmish reminds us that with intention and grace, we can still make them meaningful and memorable, finding our way to wholeness and well-being--and maybe even something that feels a bit like calm.
