Paul Wilson (meditation Teacher)

Paul Wilson is a meditation teacher, columnist, and author of two novels and 19 self-help and spiritually-oriented books, including The Calm Technique, Instant Calm, The Little Book of Calm, Calm at Work, The Little Book of Calm at Work, Calm for Life, The Complete Book of Calm, Perfect Balance, The Quiet and A Piece of the Quiet - mostly around the topic of finding peace of mind in everyday life. Because so many of as these books had ‘calm’ in the title, the Times (UK) nicknamed him The Guru of Calm

Wilson began his meditation training in the Buddhist and Yoga traditions, experimented with Transcendental Meditation in London in the late 1960s, then distilled what he had learned from these and other meditation traditions into a simple, secular approach which he coined ‘the Calm Technique’. This, and other meditation methods, were taught free of charge at his training centre, the Calm Centre, based in Sydney, Australia. In 1986 he wrote about his successes with this method in The Calm Technique, Meditation without Magic or Mysticism. Wilson’s meditation methods are taught and practiced throughout Europe, Asia, and Australia.

It has been estimated that he has taught over 1,000,000 people to meditate, and he was listed as one of the 100 people who make Britain a happier place.
