«The Art of Stillness: Adventures in Going Nowhere» is Pico Iyer's essay, published by Simon And Schuster UK in hardcover (96 pages, in English).
Pico Iyer, tireless traveler, proposes stillness as the ultimate adventure in the face of excessive connection and noise: stopping, doing nothing and looking inward. With examples from Leonard Cohen, Mahatma Gandhi, Marcel Proust or Emily Dickinson, he shows how the pause sharpens creativity and counteracts the rush of the modern world.
Second title in the TED Books collection, a series of short books inspired by TED talks. Originally published in 2014.
For readers interested in introspection, meditation and reflecting on the role of technology in daily life.
