Find a Quiet Corner and Serenity in Motion are now together in one book. Here's what Nancy says about their republication in the new introduction:
These two books represent the bookends of my spiritual life for the past twenty years and I am thrilled that they are now joined together in one volume. It's as if the two halves of my brain, of my heart, and of my entire being are finally merged into one, with the marriage of these two books representing the outer manifestation of my internal search and harmony.
From mindful breathing to meeting each moment as it comes, you'll learn in this book how to be happy, serene, and secure in the knowledge that life is unfolding just the way it should.

Everyone hopes for a rewarding and fulfilling career, but the day-to-day reality can be just the opposite. The routine of our jobs, office politics and problematic projects can often be the cause of frustration, worry and disappointment. The quest to find personal satisfaction, much less pride in our work can be daunting.
It doesn't have to be this way. We can find meaning in our jobs -- but the first thing we have to do is look within ourselves. Grounded in principles of Zen Buddhism, and full of real-life stories, Work From the Inside Out presents a simple plan to reclaim your job, and your life -- and ultimately find the ability to truly love what you do.
