"Elegant and formally ingenious."--Geoff Wisner, Wall Street Journal In a time of social distancing and isolation, a meditation on the beauty of solitude from renowned Buddhist writer Stephen Batchelor When world renowned Buddhist writer Stephen Batchelor turned sixty, he took a sabbatical from his teaching and turned his attention to solitude, a practice integral to the meditative traditions he has long studied and taught. He aimed to venture more deeply into solitude, discovering its full extent and depth. This beautiful literary collage documents his multifaceted explorations. Spending time in remote places, appreciating and making art, practicing meditation and participating in retreats, drinking peyote and ayahuasca, and training himself to keep an open, questioning mind have all contributed to Batchelor's ability to be simultaneously alone and at ease. Mixed in with his personal narrative are inspiring stories from solitude's devoted practitioners, from the Buddha to Montaigne, from Vermeer to Agnes Martin. In a hyperconnected world that is at the same time plagued by social isolation, this book shows how to enjoy the inescapable solitude that is at the heart of human life.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Stephen BatchelorPublisher: Yale University PressPublished: 02/18/2020ISBN: 9780300250930Pages: 200Weight: 0.70lbsSize: 7.80h x 5.30w x 1.00dReview Citations: Kirkus Reviews 12/15/2019Library Journal 01/10/2020 pg. 1
