TED Talk: The Art of Stillness
January 12, 2020 at 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
The place that travel writer Pico Iyer would most like to go? Nowhere. In a counterintuitive and lyrical meditation, Iyer takes a look at the incredible insight that comes with taking time for stillness. In our world of constant movement and distraction, he teases out strategies we all can use to take back a few minutes out of every day, or a few days out of every season. It’s the talk for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the demands for our world.
Novelist and nonfiction author Pico Iyer writes on subjects ranging from the Cuban revolution to Islamic mysticism, to forgotten nations and the 21st-century global order.
Our discussion will be led by Lynda Garvin
