Seeking Silence in a Noisy World

The art of mindful solitude

Adam Ford

Seeking Silence in a Noisy World explores our existential search for mindful solitude. It examines the creative power of silence as a source of inner strength and self-knowledge and shows us how we can all find moments of soothing peace to nourish our spirits in an increasing chaotic world.

Adam Ford was formerly Priest-in-Ordinary to Her Majesty the Queen at the Chapel Royal, and is also author of The Art of Mindful Walking.

Being cautious about silence is understandable, says Ford. 'Fear of the unknown is a natural defence mechanism, a warning to go carefully.' So turn the radio off for a few moments and see how you fare. And if the chatter in your own head becomes too loud or too much, he recommends you 'open a mental window and focus your attention on something external.' You can work on those troubles another day. - Psychologies Magazine

The book is a gentle perambulation around a strong centre. Each of the chapters takes the reader a little deeper. They cover a wide range of both core and peripheral issues. Each sounds true to personal experience. Church Times
