Reclaim Solitude | Raymond Kethledge | TEDxUofM
Judge Raymond Kethledge received his undergraduate degree and JD from the University of Michigan and is currently a United States Sixth Circuit Court Judge of the United States Court of Appeals. Kethledge’s favorite place in the world is his remote barn cottage in northern Michigan, where he seeks solitude. Motivated by how solitude has impacted his life, Kethledge spent 7 years researching and writing a book about its benefits. He found that solitude enhances moral courage, clarity, creativity, and emotional balance, among other qualities, and provides an effective defense against entropy in everyday life. Judge Raymond Kethledge received his undergraduate and law degree from the University of Michigan and now works as a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. He often travels to a barn in northern Michigan where he is completely alone, with no access to the internet or the outside world. This has allowed him to realize the importance of solitude in maintaining inner-directed approval and being tied less to external praise. Raymond has focused on using solitude and has honed his understanding of what solitude is and how it can enrich our lives, culminating in a book about the subject. Analyzing the importance of solitude has shown that it enhances moral courage, clarity, creativity, and emotional balance, and provides a way to block out entropy and create order in our everyday lives. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I realized this, too, in regards to driving to work, and while doing deliveries. The radio is just noise. Turn it off and stop being distracted from your thoughts.
Very insightful talk! Thank you 🙏 ❤️
more relevant than ever with this pandemic currently
Very impressed with his speech.
Wake up every morning enjoying the peace and quiet of the resting world. Instead of immediately looking at your phone, just sit up in your bed and pray, meditate, or read a book. Allow yourself to be alone with your thoughts and see how much of a positive effect it has on the rest of your day. I would not wish the daily anxiety and depression that most of us face on my worst enemy. It is a never ending battle that robs you of the most precious gift God gives, peace. I am not going to lecture you on the negatives of social media, phones, etc., but rather encourage you to try being still and quiet. What you're doing now is obviously not working so why keep doing it? The definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." Are you ready to admit that you're insane? I'd rather not. I hope all of you find peace and stillness very soon. I love you all. -GA
Excellent talk.
This is in essence The Dhamma. Is what the Buddha taught, with the difference that he also taught a technique of meditation with which we can exploit the power of solitude to the outmost.
We better listen to our inner voice.
everything that a human needs as Pascal once said, all humans' problems stem from his ability to quietly stay in an empty room alone.
It's very interesting
