The Calmer Self:
Finding Freedom Through the 90-Second Window
What if calm isn’t something you have to create—but something your body already knows how to find?
Most of us believe our emotions last as long as the stories we tell about them. A sharp word, a painful memory, a moment of fear—and suddenly we’re pulled into reactions that feel permanent and defining.
But neuroscience tells a quieter truth: a raw emotional surge, left alone, naturally rises and falls in about ninety seconds.
In The Calmer Self, Dave Moorman draws on decades of pastoral experience, modern neuroscience, and ancient wisdom to explore what happens when we stop feeding emotional storms and begin letting the body complete what it starts.
