Silence

Pick it up: Just that. pick it up. Who among us needs more silence in their heads and in their lives? All of us. 

A meditative and insightful exploration of the value of silence in our increasingly noisy world, by Norwegian explorer Erling Kagge, known for his expeditions to the poles and Mount Everest. He reflects on the importance of finding silence, and draws upon his own experiences in extreme environments, to illustrate the power of stillness.

Kagge argues that silence is not simply the absence of sound, but a state of mind that can be cultivated in any environment. He encourages readers to seek out moments of quiet contemplation, even amidst the distractions of modern life. True silence comes from within, from quieting the mind and connecting with oneself.

The book is a call to slow down, disconnect from constant stimulation, and rediscover the richness of inner peace.
