Many people feel overwhelmed in the face of increasingly hectic developments, whether in professional life, in connection with new media, or in the evolution of road traffic. At the same time, they realize that today, in times of globalization, a retreat, as sought in the 1970s and 1980s, is no longer possible. This makes the inner forces of calm even more important, allowing individuals to remain steadfast even amidst stronger external storms. The exercises and suggestions that Rudolf Steiner provides in the three selected texts can serve as a foundation for finding inner peace. The editor's afterword places these exercises in a historical context of humanity, incorporating the meditation practices of earlier times and other religions.
