William George Jordan (1864–1928) was an American editor and essayist. This style of speaking plainly about a principle and then drawing mind-pictures using analogies is a style that he utilized broadly in all his writings. It is style well suited to the general subject of self-improvement that was the focus of most of his publications. In The Majesty of Calmness, Jordan outlines ways in which we can improve our behavior and improve our lives. When we find our center and a calm place inside, many obstacles are more easily overcome.
