We all need a little more serenity (well, a lot more, probably) in our lives, but the trouble is uncovering it–a problem solved by this gorgeous tome, Places to Find Peace and Quiet. Not just for the jet-setters, there are city retreats like parks and galleries in bustling cities like the Big Apple, along with more obvious Asian Buddhist temple retreats, Edenic forests alive with birdsong, and even a restful antiquarian book store in London. Get chillin’.
