Solitude: Seeking Wisdom in Extremes: A Year Alone in the Patagonia Wilderness Audiobook (Free)

Years after losing his lower right leg within a motorcycle crash, Robert Kull tripped on a mission to explore the effects of deep solitude on body and mind and to, perhaps, come across the spiritual answers he’d been seeking. He travelled by itself to a remote control isle in Patagonia’s seaside wilderness, taking the gear and materials he’d dependence on a year alone, and his kitty. On that island, he wrestled with internal storms and with the crazy forces of character that raged around him. He confronted immense physical issues, but the challenges of mind and spirit pressed him much further.

In this journal of Kull’s tumultuous year, he chronicles a life distilled to its essence, and he also offers a philosophical deep breathing on the tensions between character and technology, isolation and society. Kull explores the pain and longing we often avoid in our active lives, aswell as the peacefulness and wonder that arise after we remove our interruptions, all with humor and brutal credibility. Kull explains the Patagonia wilderness with poetic attention, transporting the reader straight into both his internal and outer encounters.
