Hi William,

Excellent choice of topic and very well integration of research within the book chapter. Here are some things that you did well:

1.  You have done a great job at explaining the definitions of serenity, along with the origins and how it is actually relevant to psychology.

2. It sounds like an interesting and engaging method of practising mindfulness, along with mentioning the cognitive aspects of things you have done a thorough job at creating links, however, sometimes it is a bit confusing on how cognitive practices are impacted by serenity so making that a little bit more clear may assist in smooth flow of writing.

Some things for improvement would be to potentially mention religion specifically as I know that many scriptures talk about the concept of serenity and transcending. I suppose you could do this by talking about the cultural significance of serenity, as well as introducing some historical context towards the topic. You have mentioned Buddhism which is wonderfully done, but maybe a bit more on other religions to tie it back to the western world we live in and how serenity is portrayed in more modern times compared to earlier periods of time.

Potentially, if there is any time it would be worth including some scientific study and research to your topic as it would create a more in-depth argument towards your point. Especially, contributions such as case studies or some sort of backing evidence would be great.

Overall, I would like to say a great effort and once again, I found this to be a wonderful topic. Best of luck and I hope that makes sense!
