Pico Iyer on Bringing Calm Into the Motion of the World

"Pico Iyer is not a spiritual teacher or even, he says, a spiritual person per se. But he has become one of our most beloved and eloquent translators of the modern rediscovery of inner life. As a journalist and novelist, he travels the globe from Ethiopia to North Korea, and he lives in Japan. But he also experiences a remote Benedictine hermitage as his second home, retreating there many times each year. In this intimate conversation, we explore the 'art of stillness' he practices -- not in order to enrich the mountaintop, he writes, 'but to bring calm into the motion of the world.'"
