Solitude: Seeking Wisdom in Extremes - A Year Alone in the Patagonia Wilderness
by Robert Kull (9781577316749)

Years after losing his lower right leg in a motorcycle crash, Robert Kull traveled to a remote island in Patagonia's coastal wilderness with equipment and supplies to live alone for a year. He sought to explore the effects of deep solitude on the body and mind and to find the spiritual answers he'd been seeking all his life. "Solitude" is the diary of Kull's tumultuous year. Chronicling a life distilled to its essence, "Solitude" is also a philosophical meditation on the tensions between nature and technology, isolation and society. With humor and honesty, Kull explores the pain and longing we typically avoid in our busy lives as well as the peace and wonder that arise once we strip away our distractions. He describes the enormous Patagonia wilderness with poetic attention, transporting the reader directly into both his inner and outer experiences.
