Purchase options and add-ons

Explore hard-to-find quiet spots in urban jungles, ultimate wilderness hideouts, the world's best mindfulness and meditation retreats, and ancient centers of spiritual succor and artistic solace - perfect for whether you want to find yourself or get completely lost.

This inspiring guide is full of ideas and inspirations for travel destinations around the world that invite you to renew yourself physically and spiritually - perfect for recent graduates, soon to be retirees, inveterate daydreamers and armchair travellers, and anyone considering taking a much needed sabbatical. When it is time to escape from the hectic, hurly-burly of ordinary life, this is where you can find a thousand delightful quiet and peaceful places that encourage you to relax.
Featuring a range of escapes that include everything from momentary getaways in the heart of New York or Paris to longer contemplative visits to places that allow you to screen out the jangle of contemporary life, this is an expertly curated trove of peaceful places. It includes small parks and squares, lovely old churches and spiritual sanctuaries, off-the-beaten-path museums and galleries, hidden courtyards and gardens, tiny local eateries - and even cemeteries. Also included are wilder escapes in unspoiled natural settings that last over a weekend or longer, ideal for those whose idea of peace and quiet involves birdsong and the gentle rustle of leaves. From the magic of watching the sun rise over the desert at the top of Mt. Sinai, to the perfect quiet of an antiquarian book dealer in London or a Buddhist temple in Tokyo, each destination offers the chance for space, a time to think, and provides a moment to savor the world around us in a new light.

I don’t think the author has been to any of these places. She says Gorman Falls is a “treasure” of Big Bend National Park, but Gorman Falls is over 6 hours away from Big Bend. Based on the cities I’ve already visited, a few of the highlighted locations feel like strange picks to me.

There are places that are asking for the ‘wish you were here’ label….and this book has compiled them. The places, pictured with an amazing professional eye, are truly inspirational. This book is highly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, mostly a book of generic stock photos or hotel advertisements
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2020
Verified Purchase
I was hoping this book would have either photos or information about tucked-away places around the world to find peace and quiet. Instead it is mostly generic stock photography, and most of the photos do not inspire a sense of "peace and quiet", but rather they are fairly meaningless and generic images (hands holding berries, a photo of a palm tree on a beach, people doing yoga with goats, or advertisement-style shots of hotels).

The informational blurbs for each locale in the book are extremely short (2-3 sentences) and don't actually say much at all about the location, and the vast majority of the locations do not have any photos. Much of the book's content is disappointingly obvious (the section on North America is largely just a listing of national parks or hotels).

So much of this book can be found for free by just doing some quick googling or looking up photos on stock websites. In fact the back of the book, which lists the photography credits, is literally multiple pages of references to Getty Images and iStock photos. Disappointing.

1.0 out of 5 stars A large heavy book of nothing!
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2019
Verified Purchase
This book had such great possibilities! BUT there is really no content. They squeezed a 1,000 ideas with a short paragraph of about 75 to 100 words with no detail. It just makes you briefly think about the Bucket List idea. I tried to read about 20 pages ... I kept wanting more ... then I went ahead and tried each chapter to find nothing of value. Very small print with no meaningful content. Pictures were nice but there are better image coffee style books out there. I am an avid traveler and photographer. I have a large Bucket List journal that I keep that I wanted to add to. You won't get it here.

Beautiful photos and interesting captions. Despite having travelled a fair bit in the past, there are still lots of places I haven’t heard of and am now desperate to visit! A lovely book to dip into and escape!
