Behind a cacophony of traffic noise, iPhone alerts & our ever-spinning thoughts, an elusive notion
- silence
- lies in wait. But what really is silence? Where can it be found? & why is it more important now than ever? Erling Kagge, the Norwegian adventurer & polymath, once spent fifty days walking solo in Antarctica with a broken radio. In this meditative, charming & surprisingly powerful book, he explores the power of silence & the importance of shutting out the world. Whether you`re in deep wilderness, taking a shower or on the dance floor, you can experience perfect stillness if you know where to look. & from it grows self-knowledge, gratitude, wonder & much more. Take a deep breath, & prepare to submerge yourself in Silence. Your own South Pole is out there, somewhere.
