A short but engaging look at how to cultivate a sense of calm in our busy world.In Calm, sound and media researcher Iben Have explores how to cultivate a feeling of calm using digital technologies, sound, routines, and mindfulness training, and our own bodies and minds. Professor Have delves into the science behind human perception and sensory experience to discover that our perceptual experiences are not based on culture alone, but are rooted in a deeper, shared human phenomenon. While creativity generally requires calm, our need for peace and quiet varies greatly. Some people need lots of stimulus, whereas others feel most alert in tranquil environments. By determining the right stimulation zone, Professor Have outlines how we can perform and feel our best, existing mindfully and in the present.In Reflections, a series copublished with Denmark's Aarhus University Press, scholars deliver 60-page reflections on key concepts. These books present unique insights on a wide range of topics that entertain and enlighten readers with exciting discoveries and new perspectives.

En Tænkepause om ro burde på sin vis kun indeholde blanke sider for at forstyrre læseren mindst muligt. Men fraværet af tekst vil sikkert hurtigt vække uro, for stilhed og stilstand minder os om døden, og den holder vi helst langt fra livet. Heldigvis kan alt fra heavy metal til yoga forvisse os om, at vi er i live, og hjælpe os med at falde til ro. Andre gange er det nok at se en uro vugge frem og tilbage. Det kan Iben Have, meget lydhør medieforsker ved Aarhus Universitet, tale med om. Hun måtte rejse langt væk for at finde ro til at udfylde sin tænkepause.
