Pico Iyer - The Land of Wa (ATWS 2023 Closing Keynote Session)

Drawing on 36 years of being based in Western Japan, and the three books he’s written on the land (including A Beginner’s Guide to Japan), best-selling author Pico Iyer will share his perspective on how harmony binds us together and uplifts his adopted home. Why do Japanese baseball players try not to win? How does the society resemble a symphony orchestra? And how does any of this shed light on adventure in Hokkaido and the speaker’s regular ping-pong games in Nara? Author of 16 books on travel from Antarctica to Tibet, Iyer’s closing keynote talk will illuminate how and why Japan is deeply different from the world we know, and encourage you to cement the inspirations and provocations as you return to your homes across the globe.
