How to Stay Calm and Reduce Stress

Author: The Living Hour June 11, 2026 Duration: 12:56

Listen to episode 1129 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Be Calm, Cool & Collected. Adapted from a lecture by Dr. George Lincoln Walton.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: If we are to change our mental attitudes, we should begin by modifying them by suggestion. In attacking faulty mental habits, suggestion is the most potent agent at our command. There is nothing new or pseudo-scientific about the practical employment of self-suggestion toward achieving poise and equanimity. Lao Tzu urged his followers to guard their vitality by entering into harmony with their environment. And Cicero claimed that to learn to live without tumult is the best training for the fulfillment of a wish.

For nearly a decade, the voices of some of history's most profound thinkers have found a new home in the modern day. Inspirational Living: Life Lessons for Success & Happiness, from The Living Hour, draws directly from the original texts of classic writers like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Helen Keller, and Booker T. Washington. Instead of modern interpretations, each episode is carefully adapted from their actual essays and books, allowing their timeless wisdom on perseverance, inner peace, and purpose to speak for itself. This approach creates a unique space where personal growth is explored through a historical lens, connecting lessons from the past to the challenges of today. With over twenty-five million downloads, the podcast has become a trusted resource for anyone looking to cultivate resilience, improve their mental and physical well-being, and explore the spiritual dimensions of a meaningful life.
