Uncovering the Hidden Benefits of Silence: How to Find Peace in a Noisy World

Buyernine: This book is basically the title. The author writes in such a way that, you either want to always be surrounded by silence or you actually are happy with the usual noise of the day.

For inner peace, I recommend it. For a calmer, reflective self, I recommend it as well.

Georges Tormen: In silence alone or with others without aim breath in and breath out with only a simple smile in your face.

Jayesh Jain: "Silence" by Thich Nhat Hanh is an intriguing book that introduces new concepts and ideas. The initial chapters are captivating and offer fresh perspectives on the power of silence. However, as the book progresses, it becomes somewhat repetitive, covering similar ground. Despite this, I still recommend reading it, as it provides valuable insights and practical exercises for incorporating silence into our lives. While it may lose some steam along the way, "Silence" remains a thought-provoking read that encourages mindfulness and deepens our understanding of the benefits of silence.

mk: This was a refreshing read to remind me that being comfortable in silence is also important, maybe more important than checking boxes in our goal oriented society. It also dawned on me anew that in silence we can actually hear ourselves and learn who we truly are without the verbiage given by others and in that we can start to truly embrace happiness. Because if you don't truly know yourself, how can you know what will make you happy.

Joseph W Rabb: I picked this book because silence was what I was looking for and I found it in this book. It is a book on the subject of mindfulness. To skip to the point, if you have a learning style that requires structure, you can find a better book. If you have a learning style where you pick up things in bursts of activity whenever you can devote time to the subject, you will like this book.

I discovered mindfulness after watching a video on YouTube with Jon Kabat Zin hosting a session he held at Google. I picked up his book Full Catastrophe Living. It read to me like enthusiastic 8 week boot camp that you have to follow or you feel like your doing it wrong in spite of the authors best efforts to remind you that you cannot truly do it wrong. I don't see this necessary as wrong approach. I've seen there are 8 week classes out there and my suspicion this would work better as a class rather than self taught. This would be the structured approach I was referring too and as a result I recommend this book for those sorts of learners.

Ultimately I wasn't really interested in meditation. I was looking for a way to quiet my world. They are many paths to achieve the quiet I was looking...
