Krátky popis
Part of the TED series: The Art of Stillness In this age of
constant movement and connectedness, when so many of us are all
over the place, perhaps staying in one place - and locating
everything we need for peace and happiness there - is a more
exciting prospect, and a greater necessity than ever before.
Through his extensive interviews with creative geniuses of our day,
as well as historical records and his own life experience,
acclaimed author Pico Iyer paints a picture of why so many have
found such richness in stillness and how - from Marcel Proust to
Blaise Pascal to Phillipe Starck - they've gathered such rare and
exhilarating fruits there. He explores the counter-intuitive truth:
the more ways we have to connect, the more many of us seem
desperate to unplug.In both The Art of Stillnessand his captivating
TEDTALK Where is Home?, Iyer reflects that this is perhaps the
reason why more and more people - even those with no religious
commitment - seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or tai chi.
These aren't New Age fads so much as ways to connect with what
could be called the wisdom of an earlier age. There is even a
growing trend toward observing an ",Internet sabbath", every week,
turning off online connections from Friday night to Monday morning,
so as to try to revive those ancient customs known as family meals
and conversation.
