Solitude

2008-11-08 16:41:11.30439+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Went last night to see Robert Kull talk about his year alone in the Patagonia wilderness. His book is called Solitude: Seeking Wisdom in Extremes. We really enjoyed the talk, didn't feel moved to read the book, however, because it seemed like the personal struggles he was chasing weren't necessarily ones that spoke to me. I may go back and get it, though, because just thinking about the logistics of "drop me on an island, see ya a year later" makes me go "wow".

At any rate, it's worth a consideration, certainly worth exploring his web site a bit.
