(from Harpercollins.com) The midlife crisis, the family crisis, the career crisis, the relationship crisis -- nowadays everything seems to be a crisis.

But now the professionals who bring contentment to the world's most famous people show you how to blissfully pamper yourself in this beautifully designed, fully illustrated guide to the sumptuous pleasures that should be a part of everyone's daily lives.

The Guru's Guide to Serenity

Cooking, baths, facials, painting, gardening, and deep breathing may very well be the saviors of our sanity. Celebrities have the means to find these pleasures, and mother-daughter team and Hollywood insiders Sharon and Laurel House have culled the secrets of the world's most exclusive experts, trainers, chefs, spas, and resorts to show readers how to create the kind of soothing treatments superstars love. Some of the gurus' remedies you will discover in this beautiful, comforting book include:

Irresistible at-home massage techniques from Michelle Kluck, massage therapist to Salma Hayek and Ashley Judd.

Fitness tips from Kathy Kaehler, celebrity trainer and the Today show's exercise expert.

Recipes for soothing spa treatments like Chocolate Fondue Facial Mask from Manhattan's elite Glow Skin Spa.
