Description
Over the past three decades, Pico Iyer has spent over 100 seasons in silence at a small hermitage in Big Sur, California. Despite not being part of a religious group, his life has been profoundly transformed by these periods of quiet contemplation. In "Learning from Silence", Iyer shares the wisdom and insights he has gained from his experiences, alongside the teachings of other non-monastics who have learned from adversity and inwardness.
This book offers a unique outsider's view of monastic life and the power of solitude as a training in community and companionship. Iyer reveals how silence can be a source of profound counsel on how to live, love, and ultimately, how to die. With a focus on the transformative potential of quiet reflection, "Learning from Silence" is a deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration of the human experience.
