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. With only a cat and his thoughts as companions, he wrestled with inner storms while the wild forces of nature raged around him. The physical challenges were immense, but the struggles of mind and spirit pushed him even further. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSolitude: Seeking Wisdom in Extremes\u003c\/i\u003e is the diary of Kull's tumultuous year.
