A joyful celebration (NPR) that shows us why silence is essential to our sanity and happiness--and how it can open doors to wonder and gratitude--from a renowned explorer and acclaimed author.

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 what silence is, where it can be found, and why it is now more important than ever.

ERLING KAGGE is an explorer, art collector, publisher, author, and the first person to have completed the Three Poles Challenge on foot--the North Pole, the South Pole, and the summit of Mount Everest. He has written six previous books on exploration, philosophy, and art collecting, and runs Kagge Forlag, a publishing company based in Oslo, where he lives.

Uma coleção de pensamentos

O livro é curto e parece uma coleção de pensamentos simples sobre as experiências e reflexões do autor sobre o silêncio. Eu diria que é uma leitura bem simples, mas interessante para se refletir sobre o tema e, quem sabe, buscar mais silêncio na vida barulhenta da nossa sociedade atual.
