About this product
Product Information
What is silence? Where can it be found? Why is it now more important than ever? In this astonishing and transformative meditation, Erling Kagge, famed Norwegian explorer and the first person to reach the South Pole alone, explores the silence around us, the silence within us, and the silence we must create. By recounting his own experiences and discussing the observations of poets, artists, and explorers, Kagge shows us why silence is essential to our sanity and happiness--and how it can open doors to wonder and gratitude.

Reviews
"As much an object as book, something to be handled and savored.... I too remember crunching over ice at the South Pole--though I had not walked there like the author--and thinking about the ethereal quality of silence that the owned world cannot give (no country owns the Antarctic). Erling Kagge captures that wonder on the page." --Wall Street Journal "A series of lyrical vignettes. . . . Kagge is clearly qualified to write about the soul-reviving benefits of quiet." -- O, The Oprah Magazine "Kagge . . . writes in a chatty, accessible style and with a healthy dose of humor. . . . Silence . . . offers thoughtful meditations." -- The Minneapolis Star Tribune "An extraordinarily calming book . . . just the tonic when things get hectic." -- The Irish Times "A simply extraordinary book anyone with a smart-phone or a social media account would do well to read--and heed." -- Trail Magazine "A joyful celebration of what feels like a precious resource that is . . . in too short supply." --On Air, NPR "The book both contemplates the various forms of silence around and within us, and offers solutions for finding such silence amidst endless interruptions and opportunities for distraction....With a sense of awe, Kagge wanders rather than narrates, moving intuitively between philosophy, science, and personal experience....It's always good to be reminded of ancient truths. And with Silence , Kagge provides a much-needed reminder." --Los Angeles Review of Books "An eloquent and persuasive argument for the significance of silence, in all of its forms, from an author who has explored the limits of the human experience." -- Kirkus Reviews "Searing and soaring....For Kagge, silence is more than the absence of sound: it is the incubator for thought, the conscious eradication of external distraction, and the ability to live in one's own mind as fully as one lives in the physical world. Infused with powerfully evocative art and photographs that enhance his salient concepts, Kagge's treatise on this endangered commodity provides an intriguing meditation for mindful readers." --Booklist "The book expands the concepts of silence and noise beyond their aural definitions and engages with modern culture's information overload, need for constant connection, and cult of busyness....Great pleasure lies in Kagge's creative investigations. The reader leaves more mindful of the swirl of distraction present in everyday life." --Publishers Weekly, "As much an object as book, something to be handled and savored.... I too remember crunching over ice at the South Pole--though I had not walked there like the author--and thinking about the ethereal quality of silence that the owned world cannot give (no country owns the Antarctic).

And with Silence , Kagge provides a much-needed reminder." --Los Angeles Review of Books "From the North Pole and the summit of Mount Everest to Sri Lanka and the coast of Chile, Kagge investigates the wonder and mystery of silence. He writes in a chatty, accessible style and with a healthy dose of humor, even when discussing philosophical subjects....Offers thoughtful meditations on the importance of 'pausing to breathe deeply, shut out the world and use the time to experience ourselves.'" --Minneapolis Star-Tribune "Breathtaking and inspiring, it teaches us how to find precious moments of silence--whether we are crossing the Antarctic, climbing Everest, or the train at rush hour." --Sir Ranulph Fiennes, author of Cold: Extreme Adventures at the Lowest Temperatures on Earth " Silence braces a space within which we can hear ourselves think. Quietly, wisely, it makes a case for dumbing the din of modern life, and learning to listen again. Drawing on the experiences of Kagge's extraordinary life in wild places, this is a book of great concentration" --Robert Macfarlane, author of The Old Ways: A Journey on Foot "Searing and soaring....For Kagge, silence is more than the absence of sound: it is the incubator for thought, the conscious eradication of external distraction, and the ability to live in one's own mind as fully as one lives in the physical world. Infused with powerfully evocative art and photographs that enhance his salient concepts, Kagge's treatise on this endangered commodity provides an intriguing meditation for mindful readers." --Booklist "The book expands the concepts of silence and noise beyond their aural definitions and engages with modern culture's information overload, need for constant connection, and cult of busyness....Great pleasure lies in Kagge's creative investigations. The reader leaves more mindful of the swirl of distraction present in everyday life." --Publishers Weekly

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
