nice collection
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
A really nice collection of quotes & thoughts to ponder, from a very wide variety of authors, philosophers, and otherwise great thinkers or just neat people. In such a busy world today where it seems like we are always on the go, this book is a really great reminder of the time we need for ourselves, to center ourselves and listen quietly to ourselves. I know a lot of people who have a terrible time being alone. This book is a great gift for people who need to just slow down for a bit. For the most part the quotes are non-religious but there is one section called "Finding God" which was a bit much for me. I loved the quotes/thoughts that center on nature especially. The chapters are as follows:1) A noisy world2) Solitude as Discovery- Finding the Self- Finding God3) Solitude as Inspiration- Inward peace- Creativity4) Solitude and the Natural World5)Other places of Solitide- At home- In Houses of worship- Among others- Within the human heart6) The power of silence Really a wonderful collection with a super message woven through the quotes and the wy that they are assembled.

Living in a hurry up world has made it seem wrong to look for quiet and solitude. This book gives all the reasons why solitude is needed and important.
It's a wonder of self
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The "Wonders of Solitude" is a magnificent discovery of how to be at peace with one's self. A self-discovery of how wonderful it is to be alone, to reveal a deeper and spiritual awareness of ourselves. It brings a true sense of fullfillment to the word "solitude", without any feeling of deprivation or lonliness. Truly great reading material for anyone who is uncomfortable with being alone or in need of soul searching.
