Aflame by Pico Iyer: Book Launch

How does stillness help us recollect what really matters and what we truly love? How can silence teach us more than any text or doctrine—and offer us a common space in an ever more divided and despairing world? And how can sitting alone in a small cell somehow be a training in community and compassion, helping us to stand firm as the world seems to go up in flames all around us? These are the questions renowned author Pico Iyer brings to light in his latest book Aflame: Learning from Silence, in conversation with author William Green at Asia Society.
