TED Talk with Pico Iyer – The Art of Stillness

Pico Iyer is a well known travel writer, with a special affinity for the offbeat. For Iyer, "A trip has really been successful if I come back sounding strange even to myself,"  One of his books is called “Falling Off the Map: Some of the Lonely Places of the World.”

In this talk Iyer introduces us to a special type of travel. He calls it “going nowhere,” and he finds this type of travel at least as exciting as going to Cuba or to Tibet. It’s a short talk, but Iyer is a charmer and a great speaker, and his ideas have a special resonance at this particular moment, when, by force of circumstances, all of us find ourselves in a place of “going nowhere.” .

Enjoy watching the TED Talk as a group and having a discussion afterwards,  All welcome
