In an increasingly frenetic world, the need to take time out and just be still has never been greater.  We’re constantly bombarded with “stuff” that “demands” our attention.  But we never get time to think.

Traveller, writer, teacher and philosopher Pico Iyer expounds on the virtues of “stillness”.  Taking time out to unplug.  To sit and just think, rejuvenate, and refresh your ideas.

I quote, “ […] in an age of acceleration, nothing can be more exhilarating than going slow. And in an age of distraction, nothing is so luxurious as paying attention. And in an age of constant movement, nothing is so urgent as sitting still.”

Watch it here.
