Pico Iyer at TEDSalon NY2014
The art of stillness (transcript)
Summary
The art of stillness the speaker suggests is to try considering going nowhere.
He was a travel writer and he suddenly realized that he was racing around so much and he never caught up with his life, he worked enjoying and hard, though.
Nowhere was magical unless you can bring the right eyes.
To develop right and appreciative eyes are going nowhere.
Spending relaxing and resting without TV, car and even smartphone must lead to listening your own voices and remaking your entire life.
Please experience this luxurious time and realize that going nowhere leads you into a wonderful time.
