About the Book: Simply Do It: Do It Simply
Speech is not silver and silence is not gold. Gold is insteadthe right amount of
speech and silence. This is how Martin Kampchenoverturns a popular saying and
probes into the meaning of speechand silence beyond cliched thinking. In curt,
pointed literarytexts the author describes everyday activities-waking,
breathing, greeting, offering praise, remembering, sleeping or listening.
Hebreaks open the thoughtless routine with which we normally carrythem out,
trying to discover their authentic value. Drawing fromthe wisdom of Indian and
Christian contemplative thought, Kampchenhowever firmly relates his texts to our
21st centurys search for asimple, truthful life-style.
