The Power of Silence by Graham Turner

The Power of Silence by Graham Turner

Silence is a mysterious and unfathomable realm, perhaps the most under-used of all resources, and one our modern culture has all but obliterated by turning up the volume control. Graham Turner explores the power that can be found in silence through interviewing monastics, religious leaders, composers, actors, psychotherapists, prisoners and peace workers about their experiences of practising silence. Ranging from Christian contemplation in the Egyptian desert to Vipassana meditation in India, from the shared silence of Quaker meetings in Oxford to the profound stillness of the Alps, this is a powerful book about a great gap in modern human awareness.

After gaining a first class degree at Oxford, Graham Turner worked for the Scotsman and the Sunday Times. He then became nationally recognised as the BBC's first Economics Correspondent. Thereafter he worked for the Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Telegraph writing substantial features which had considerable national influence. He currently lives in Oxford.
