Summary:
"Suffering from information overload and unable to sleep, acclaimed journalist Sarah Sands tried countless strategies to de-stress, only to find temporary relief. Searching for something different, something lasting, Sands went on a quest to uncover ancient and proven wisdom for a happier, quieter, and more compassionate life. In this insightful and beautifully written book, Sands takes us along on her pilgrimage to ten
monasteries
around
the
world
. In the remoteness of these sacred spaces, Sands observes a hidden knowledge held by monks and nuns -- what she calls 'the
interior
silence
.' Renouncing the material
world
, their inner concentration buoys them in an extraordinary weightlessness and freedom, an oasis of reflection. Behind the cloistered walls, Sands too finds a clarity of mind and an unexpected capacity for solitude. From a Coptic desert community in Egypt to a retreat in the Japanese mountains, discover another way of being: moving from appetite, envy, and anxiety to
compassion
and appreciation. The ultimate remedy for a digital age in which everyone is talking, and no one is listening, this book reminds us of the importance of
silence
and the power of stillness."--From publisher.
