Tranquility in the midst of Calamity
How to get through the thunderstorms of life without getting soaked.
A newly released book written by Dr. Fred Hui; available on paperback.
Imagine that an unfortunate event has occurred. You’ve just experienced a significant financial loss, the end of a relationship, the death of a loved one, or a personal health crisis. The situation feels overwhelming, and you’re left grappling with the uncertainty of what’s next. Your mind races as you process the shock and distress of the moment. The future feels unclear, and the emotional weight of the situation is almost unbearable.
You may have learned various stress-relief techniques and successfully navigated difficult situations in the past, but when faced with crises like these, it can be challenging to access that knowledge.
Anxiety interferes with how memories are stored, and the body’s stress response negatively impacts long-term memory, making it more difficult to recall helpful coping strategies in times of intense emotional strain.
Internationally renowned Integrative Medicine expert Fred Hui, MD created Tranquility in the midst of Calamity using a simple mnemonic “BE COOL” as a guide to his innovative philosophical principles. This practical, easy-to-recall mnemonic serves as a memory tool to help you get through stress and crises without excessive distress.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Help when in dispair
“This book could be a life saver for a person who has plunged into despair or lost a sense of purpose after the experience of a personal calamity. Drawing on Asian philosophy, Dr. Fred Hui MD, who practices both eastern and western medicine, has given us a fairly short, highly accessible guide to a perspective on life and fate that encourages balance and reasonable hope. He is never dogmatic; he never writes disrespectfully of anyone’s grief or pain. His book raises us to a higher point of observation from which we see our own situation in a wide context and respond with calm, perspective and direction. As our feelings of misfortune are validated but not exaggerated, they lose their destructive effect. The good doctor offers us a medicine with no bad taste, no hurtful secondary effects and in a short time we can feel better.”
