Take your Soul with you wherever you go - The Importance of Silence by Sarah Anderson

"The Lost Art of Silence: Reconnecting to the Power and Beauty of Quiet" by Sarah Anderson (Shambhala Publications) is a unique celebration of silence--in art, literature, nature, and spirituality -- and an exploration of its ability to bring inner peace, widen our perspectives, and inspire the human spirit in spite of the noise of contemporary life.

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, analyses, compares, and questions. But, if we can get past this barrage, there lies a quiet place that's well worth discovering.

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.

Sarah Anderson 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 that surrounds us.

Sarah founded the Travel Bookshop in London in 1979, the shop later featured in the film “Notting Hill”. She studied Chinese at the London University college of SOAS, and at Heythrop, where she earned an MA in the psychology of religion. She has taught travel writing at City University, writes regular travel pieces, reviews books, and gives talks worldwide. Her paintings have been exhibited throughout London, and she is also the author of the book “Heaven’s Face Thinly Veiled”.
