The "Workbook for Students", contained in this app, includes 365 lessons & reviews which are designed to train your mind in a systematic way to a different perception of everyone and everything in the world. This perception leads to inner tranquility and peace. As stated in the Introduction to the Workbook: “The exercises are very simple. They do not require a great deal of time, and it does not matter where you do them. They need no preparation.” You are asked only not to undertake to do more than one exercise a day. You might however choose to remain with a particularly appealing lesson for more than one day.
