The Eloquence of Silence

Surprising Wisdom in Tales of Emptiness

By: Thomas Moore

Narrated by: Thomas Moore

Embracing emptiness, staying open, finding calm

With compassion and insight, Thomas Moore offers a compelling case for an easier, lighter way of moving through life by experiencing the peace, calm, and openness of emptiness. Through ancient and modern stories, Moore gently shows that our constant multitasking may not be getting us anywhere, and that emptiness is not a lack but an invitation that can be our greatest teacher. A daily awareness and appreciation of the quiet spaciousness in our world and our own lives is not a retreat from reality but a rich and full welcome to all that is most meaningful and real.

Wonderful Wisdom

Transformative listening. Well worth the effort. A gift of a quiet mind helps a bunch.

Wise, poetic, and resonant

I listened to this immediately after Moore's earlier work Dark Nights of the Soul, and both were beautifully written, wise, and carried with them a certain stance towards life that resonated deeply with me. He pulls together some topics I was aware of with many I was not, along with personal memories and reflections, into a coherent philosophy. A beautiful work.

Lovely reminder

Beautiful collection of short essays that remind us what is really important in life. Meditative and enjoyable

The Importance of Emptiness

Another stellar piece of work from Thomas Moore, read by the author himself. All of Moore’s works resonate deeply with me and being of a more Zen mindset than anything else, I was particularly interested in this title since Emptiness is kind of central to Zen. I love how Moore pulls from various religious traditions, mythology and psychology to make his points. A great addition to his canon of work. Highly recommended.
