Talbot-Zorn, Justin

£14.99

Silence isn’t simply an absence of noise. At a time when everyday life demands our attention at every waking moment, Justin Zorn and Leigh Marz shares what scientists, philosophers, spiritual practitioners, creatives, and businesspeople have discovered about the nature of silence. In this timely and enlightening book, they examine how we can be quiet together – suggesting how we create group norms among colleagues, in families, and between partners. With the explosion of open workspaces, the issue of working quiet is an urgent one; Justin and Leigh offer innovative often counterintuitive strategies to create productive environments. Thought-provoking and practical, Justin Zorn and Leigh Marz asks why we are letting silence slip away and what we can do to stop it?

Description

What if the most serious personal and global challenges won’t be solved with more thinking or talking?

The world is louder than ever. It’s not just the noise in our ears, but also the noise on our screens and in our heads. ‘Silence is golden,’ the adage goes. But how do we find it in times like these?

Justin Zorn and Leigh Marz take us on an unlikely journey exploring why silence is essential for physical health, mental clarity, professional fulfilment, nourishing relationships, ecological sustainability, and vibrant community. Drawing on lessons from neuroscience, philosophy, business, politics, activism, and the arts, Golden teaches us how to go beyond the ordinary rules and offers tools of mindfulness to help individuals, organisations and whole societies dial down the noise and reclaim pristine quiet.

Quietly profound and constantly surprising, Golden is a field guide to finding silence.
