Searching for peace within - an increasing necessity, and challenge, in our turbulent times.

Impressive and respectful, his 220 mostly black-and-white photographs offer powerful insight into the otherwise hushed and hidden world of meditation and mindfulness. With his profound feeling for light and composition, Kolkin's rare and intimate images capture the uniqueness of each mindful moment, as well as the universal reach and inspiration of Buddhist practice.

Review :
"The Dalai Lama's response reinforced in me the realization that even when people have similar objectives they can interpret words from significantly different perspectives. In response to His comments, my first book released by a traditional publishing house, teNeues, covers the same topic and is called, Inner Harmony: Living in Balance." - Authority Magazine "It (this book) explores how and why Buddhist practices have come to inspire and enlighten people worldwide, offering insight into the universally relevant principles that can enhance our ability to live a less stressful, more balanced life, regardless of one's spiritual path." - OM Yoga & Lifestyle "The arresting visuals and accompanying words will remind you to slow down, zen out, and remember that your problems probably aren’t as big as you’re making them out to be." - Perri O. Blumberg, Men's Journal “A rare and intimate glimpse into Buddhist practices.” - Amateur Photographer "The photographs in this book are meant to communicate concepts central to living a healthy and balanced life much in line with his practice in medicine and the view that inner harmony can only be cultivated through practice." - Bonnie Nadzam, Lion's Roar "This impressive collection of 220 mostly black and white images offers an intriguing insight into the hushed and hidden world of meditation and mindfulness." - Black & White Photography
