Silence: In the Age of Noise Audiobook (Free)

Penguin presents the audiobook release of Silence by Erling Kagge, browse by Atli Gunnarsson.

Behind a cacophony of visitors sound, iPhone alerts and our ever-spinning thoughts, an elusive notion – silence – is based on wait around. But what really is silence? Where could it be discovered? And why is it more important today than ever?

Erling Kagge, the Norwegian adventurer and polymath, once spent fifty days walking solo in Antarctica using a broken radio. In this meditative, enchanting and surprisingly powerful reserve, he explores the power of silence as well as the importance of shutting out the globe. Whether you’re in deep wilderness, taking a shower or over the dance ground, you can encounter perfect stillness in the event that you know where you can appear. And from it grows self-knowledge, gratitude, wonder plus much more.

Take a breath, and prepare to submerge yourself in Silence. Your personal South Pole is out there, somewhere.
