Pico Iyer is one of our most eloquent explorers of what he calls the "inner world" - in himself and in the 21st century world at large. The journalist and novelist travels the globe from Ethiopia to North Korea and lives in Japan. But he also experiences a remote Benedictine hermitage as his second home, retreating there many times each year. In this intimate conversation, we explore the discoveries he's making and his practice of "the art of stillness." (Original Air Date: June 4, 2015)
