註釋The author of The End of Absence shares a “gorgeously written and fascinating” inquiry into the transformative power of being alone (Michael Finkel, New York Times best-selling author of True Story).

The capacity to be alone, properly alone, is one of life’s subtlest skills. Real solitude is a crucial ingredient for a rich interior life. It inspires reflection, allows creativity to flourish, and improves our relationships with ourselves and, unexpectedly, with others. Yet, in our modern world of mobile devices and social media, we have forgotten the joys of silence, and undervalued how profoundly it can revolutionize our lives.

This book is about discovering stillness inside the city, inside the crowd, inside our busy lives. With wit and energy, award-winning author Michael Harris weaves captivating true stories with reporting from the world’s foremost brain researchers, psychologists, and tech entrepreneurs to guide us toward a state of measured connectivity that balances quiet and companionship.

Foreword by Nicholas Carr, author of the Pulitzer Prize–finalist The Shallows.
