Description
The Art of Stillness considers the unexpected adventure of staying put and reveals a counterintuitive truth: the more ways we have to connect, the more we seem desperate to unplug. Iyer draws on the lives of well-known wanderer-monks like Cohen, Gandhi, and Proust-- as well as his own experiences as a travel writer who chooses to spend most of his time in rural Japan-- to explore why advances in technology are making us more likely to retreat. Iyer reflects that this is perhaps the reason why many people-- even those with no religious commitment-- seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or tai chi.
