The Art of Stillness

In The Art of Stillness, Pico Iyer explores the profound adventure of remaining still in an increasingly chaotic and fast-paced world. Drawing on his travels and encounters with figures like Matthieu Ricard and Leonard Cohen, Iyer reveals why many seek solace in practices such as meditation and silent retreats. He argues that as technology grows, the need to unplug and embrace stillness becomes more essential, offering insights into how this quiet pause can enrich our lives and provide a counterbalance to constant connectivity.
