The Zen Hedonism Theory of Relative Calm is the basic principle of achieving inner calm in the modern world. The aim is to be at peace with the world around us. This does not mean sitting down with your eyes closed, your legs in a knot and saying Ommm until it all magically Goes Away.
​
Relative Calm means matching speeds with the world around us so that it appears to be still, or at least manageable. A Zen Hedonist is enthusiastically engaged with the world, with their life. A Zen Hedonist is a passionate participant. Competent. Has their shit together.
​
Zen Hedonists not only want to interact with the world, they want to make it a better place, even if it’s just for a moment. Relative Calm is that mental space when you are in sync with the world, you are responding to it and it is responding to you.
