His wisdom will soothe and awaken * Fearne Cotton *
An author for our noisy times, full of a rare and deeply
redemptive languor and perspective * Alain de Botton *
A wonderfully deft Swiss army knife of a book. One really
feels the hard won wisdom at the book's heart, the graft and
nouse of life lived in arctic extremis. Kagge's preternatural
energy, warmth and sagacity shine - a cool-headed polar
philosopher to treasure! * Dan Richards *
A delightful book that explores the strange land between
getting out of bed in the morning and reaching for the moon *
Tristan Gooley *
As an explorer Erling Kagge is world class; as a writer he is
equally gifted
A marvellous human being * Chris Evans *
Essential survival and life lessons from polar explorer * Foyles
newsletter *
Silence braces a space within which we can hear ourselves think.
Quietly, wisely, it makes a case for dumbing the din of modern
life, and learning to listen again. Drawing on the experiences
of Kagge's extraordinary life in wild places, this is a book of
great concentration
