Onde encontrar o silêncio? O autor, Erling Kagge, procurou responder a esta e outras 2 questões sobre o silêncio. Vivemos numa época em que muitos de nós andamos de fones nos ouvidos e constantemente com música, informação e notificações diáriamente. Procuramos descansar desse excesso mas depois há o medo do vazio e do nada. Custa muito estar em silêncio 15-30 minutos por dia.
Um belo livro que se lê no instante, mas que nos faz demorar no pensamento no fim de cada capítulo. A leitura é rápida, mas mantemos o livro em atenção por mais tempo.
O autor refere exemplos das suas viagens ao pólo sul e pólo norte, onde há silêncio e o vazio. E refere também estórias de outras pessoas sobre o mesmo tema. Interessante o testemunho da Artista Marina Abramovic.
Sobre a relação com a mulher "Para mim, é quando somos capazes de estar os dois juntos, sentados em silêncio"
Em viagem "Estar a caminhoé sempre mais satisfatório do que atngir o objectivo"
Um livro que é uma ajuda a fazer uma pausa diária para ouvir-nos. Não é preciso ir para um retiro ou o Tibete, o importante é procurar o nosso momento e espaço de silêncio no quotidiano.
Uma das melhores ideias que ele teve foi enquanto lava a louça.
Vale bem a pena ter.

The only thing you hear while reading this book is the sound of names dropping.
Much less interesting and satisfying than the more recent book on Walking.

4.5 A nice short book about the importance of silence. The author shares his travel experience and his notions of different types of silences, from the Antarctica' white silence to the silence before the sunset. But most importantly, he talks about the inner silence and the search for it in our noisy and busy world. I wish it were a bit longer and more detailed with advice, but it is a really great book to start your journey.
Took me a while to get into this, but I got a lot out of the last half of this collection. Lots to think about, and some gorgeous pieces about silence.

This book had the potential to be 4 stars at least. I wish the author had focused more on his walk through South Pole and his own thoughts about Silence, but instead the book is filled with references to what other people said or wrote. It is still good and thought provoking, just not as good as I was expecting.
This was a beautiful book. The author is an explorer and provides his observations on finding complete silence not only on his 50 day solo trek across Antarctica, but also in his daily life. This is a short but profound book that should be reread every year or 2.
From the AI:
"Silence: In the Age of Noise" by Erling Kagge is a thought-provoking exploration of the value of silence in our increasingly noisy world. Kagge's contemplative prose invites readers to embrace stillness and find meaning in moments of quietude. The book skillfully weaves together philosophy, personal anecdotes, and global perspectives, offering a compelling case for the transformative power of silence. Overall, it's an excellent read for those seeking a deeper understanding of the importance of tranquility in our hectic lives.

I've read a handful of books about meditation, mindfulness, and minimalism/intentional living over the last few years, so it's no big surprise I was drawn to this book while wandering a bookstore. It's a small, handsome looking volume, and the back reveals that it's not only about silence, it's written by a guy who was the first person on the planet to travel to the South Pole alone. This guy has to have some interesting insight into calming the mind and embracing silence, right?
My take is that he does... mostly. The writing is occasionally meandering - Kagge sometimes feels like he just doesn't have that much of a point. Other times, though, I found it compelling, relatable, and moving.
I do wish he would have written more about his trip to the South Pole and his experience of silence there, he just didn't focus on it much.
