About this listen

Silence is habitually overlooked—after all, throughout our lives, it has to compete with the cacophony of the outside world and our near-constant interior dialogue that judges, analyzes, compares, and questions. But, if we can get past this barrage, there lies a quiet place that’s well worth discovering.

The Lost Art of Silence encourages us to embrace this pursuit and allow the warm light of silence to glow. Invoking the wisdom of many of the greatest writers, thinkers, contemplatives, historians, musicians, and artists, Sarah Anderson reveals the sublime nature of quiet that’s all too often undervalued. Throughout, she shares her own penetrating insights into the potential for silence to transform us. This celebration of silence invites us to widen our perspective and shows its power to inspire the human spirit in spite of the distracting noise of contemporary life.

I am surprised I am only the second person to review this on Audible because this is such a beautiful book, illuminating and calming. It reveals so much information that it is a joy to listen to. In addition, the narrator is excellent. There are so many mediocre audiobooks with hordes of positive reviews yet here is a real gem with, now, only two. A grave injustice to the author.

A beautiful audiobook.

Anderson’s impressive research on silence is skilfully woven together with personal reflection. The whole expedition into silence feels incredibly worthwhile and there are many useful ideas for personal practice. The beauty of silence in the arts is balanced with the darker side of silence, so the books feels balanced and wholehearted.

For the experienced and the silent curious alike
