Kym OGorman's Reviews > Turning Down The Noise: The quiet power of silence in a busy world

Looking for a read that confronts yourbad habits but offers a glimmer of hope that there might be a better way - and gives you some practical steps to get there?

I’ve just finished reading Turning Down the Noise - and it was all the things I needed to read, and many of the things I’ve been refusing to acknowledge for a while now.

In the book, Christine looks at the incessant noise we face in our lives (audible, mental, digital and more) - and ways we can reverse the overwhelm and damage it can cause. )

Turning Down The Noise is filled with personal stories from Christine’s life as an investigative journalist, communications executive, author and parent, as well as the different things she has tried on a quest for peace. It’s meaty, with research and evidence to support the recommendations.

It’s also reassuring to learn that someone I’ve long admired in her career has the same uncertainty, insecurities and challenges that I do…and to follow along as she works her way through them.

At the back of the book is a very practical guide to cultivating silence in our lives…almost a tasting menu to get started with silence. It’s well worth a read.
