Golden- The Power of Silence in a World of Noise offers a new way of understanding the unprecedented mass proliferation of sensory input we live with, how it impacts us, and strategies and practices we as individuals, groups, organizations, and society at-large can use to turn down the noise. Silence isn' t simply an absence of noise. At a time when everyday life demands our attention at every waking moment, Justin Zorn shares what scientists, philosophers, spiritual practitioners, creatives, and businesspeople have discovered about the nature of silence. In this timely and enlightening book, they examine how we can be quiet together-suggesting how we create group norms among colleagues, in families, and between partners. With the explosion of open workspaces, the issue of working quiet is an urgent one; Justin offer innovative often counterintuitive strategies to create productive environments. Thought-provoking and practical, Justin Zorn asks why we are letting silence slip away and what we can do to stop it?
"Golden is a guide to getting out of the shallows and into the depths. It' s a synthesis of many disciplines to chart a path toward a deeper, livelier, more aware and more peaceful way of being in the world. " -- Rebecca Solnit, Bestselling author of more than twenty books, including Hope in the Dark, A Field Guide to Getting Lost, and Wanderlust "Through the heartfelt stories of teachers like Jarvis Jay Masters, this book shows how to practice patience and compassion in times of fear and distraction. Golden explores why equanimity matters not just for our own resilience and joy, but also for the social and ecological sustainability of this world that we love. " -- Pema Choedroen Buddhist teacher and bestselling author of When Things Fall Apart and The Places That Scare You "Marz and Zorn make a convincing link between humanity' s modern obsession with the pursuit of dopamine and our addiction to noise. Through extensive research and engaging storytelling, they point the way to more clarity, expansiveness, and calm. " -- Judson Brewer, M. D. , Ph. D. New York Times Bestselling Author of Unwinding Anxiety and The Craving Mind "Golden makes a radical claim: Unplugging andsavoring silence is one of the best things we can do for ourselves and our world. " -- Arianna Huffington Founder & CEO, Thrive Global "Justin Zorn and Leigh Marz offer us a powerful vision and valuable roadmap for how to repair our society: find more silence. " -- U. S. Representative Tim Ryan Member of Congress from Ohio and author of A Mindful Nation
