Ugh. Not sure why I requested this book from the library, must’ve read a book review somewhere that intrigued me. And I am attracted by silence. But this book felt like junk, full of pseudoscience, tons of “studies show” BS when you can just tell these are poorly designed unreplicated junk studies with n=17 or something like that. I’ll try to remember to avoid these authors in the future.

Only got to page 23 but there was no hint that things were going to get better.

Golden is a well written book which explores the world of silence - and how we, as a whole, do not practice much of it! This book encourages the reader to embrace silence for their own mental well being and provides advice and stories on how to do so. Highly recommend. ( )
