There are a number of books about silence and quiet that I'm keen to read. This little book by the remarkable Norwegian, Erling Kagge is also a quietly reflective book essentially about the importance of being totally immersed in whatever you are doing. Erling Kagge is one of those people I'd quite like to be. He does not shout about his extraordinary achievements and clearly has pushed himself beyond limits most of us couldn't comprehend. Not only has he climbed Mount Everest (literally) but also walked to the North and South poles. This is an easy read - for me not life changing but certainly a reminder of what is important. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

It's a thought provoking and beautifully produced book, with images of silent mountain snowscapes, moonscapes and cloudscapes punctuating its pages. The chapters are short, but don't make the mistake, as I did at first, of reading just one or two chapters before the book drops from your hands as you fall asleep for the night. This book is better tackled at a stretch, when Kagge's ideas are given a chance to flow. It's full of interest, though not as smoothly written as I had expected: in fact, at times it appears a little disjointed: a not fully-assimilated collection of thoughts. Nevertheless, it's an antidote to our super-connected world, and a handsome addition to any library, which anyone who's read it once will probably wish to return to from time to time, if only to look at the photographs.
