Learning From Silence

n Learning From Silence Iyer travels deep into inner stillness and joy in his many seasons at the monastery even as his life is going through constant change: houses burn a parent dies a daughter is diagnosed with cancer. He shares the revelations he experiences alongside wisdom from other nonmonastics who have learned from adversity and inwardness. Most profoundly he shows how solitude can be a training in community and companionship. In so doing he offers a unique outsider’s view of monastic life―and of a group of selfless souls who have dedicated their days to ensuring there’s a space for quiet and recollection that’s open to us all.Radiant intimate and gripping Learning From Silence offers ageless counsel about the power of silence and what it can teach us about how to live how to love and ultimately how to die.
