The antidote to a noisy, chaotic world.
Pico Iyer is the acclaimed and bestselling author of more than a dozen books translated into twenty-three languages, most recently the nationally bestselling Aflame: Learning from Silence.
In this episode we talk about:
- Why and how Pico found himself spending a lot of time at a silent monastery
- What he's learned about the power and potency of silence
- Why so many of us fear silence
- When silence is a tonic, and when it's a weapon or shield
- Why taking time out of your life is deeply beneficial — both for you and the people around you
- How Pico takes what he learns at the monastery into his daily life
- A wise approach to the news
- Travel as a tool for transformation
