ADADMore than a decade later, a little silence, any kind of silence, can seem like a blessing. If silence becomes a luxury good, is it a worthwhile aspiration as these books suggest? But in applying small lessons from each of these books, I’ve discovered the possibilities lurking in the radio silence I once feared. Now armed with silence as an orientation rather than a sonic condition, I find myself experiencing books, films and conversations through a new filter. Given their popularity, the self-help sections devoted to silence are destined to grow with even more beautiful books to purchase.
