Pico Iyer
Pico Iyer considers the unexpected adventure of staying put and reveals a counterintuitive truth: the more ways we have to connect, the more we seem desperate to unplug. Why might a lifelong traveler like Pico Iyer think that sitting quietly in a room might be the ultimate adventure? Because, in our madly accelerating world, our lives are crowded, chaotic and noisy. There has never been a greater need to slow down, tune out and give ourselves permission to be still.
