图书描述

A follow up to Pico Iyer’s essay “The Joy of Quiet,” The Art of Stillness considers the unexpected adventure of staying put and reveals a counterintuitive truth: The more ways we have to connect, the more we seem desperate to unplug.

Why might a lifelong traveler like Pico Iyer, who has journeyed from Easter Island to Ethiopia, Cuba to Kathmandu, think that sitting quietly in a room might be the ultimate adventure? Because in our madly accelerating world, our lives are crowded, chaotic and noisy. There’s never been a greater need to slow down, tune out and give ourselves permission to be still.

In The Art of Stillness—a TED Books release—Iyer investigate the lives of people who have made a life seeking stillness: from Matthieu Ricard, a Frenchman with a PhD in molecular biology who left a promising scientific career to become a Tibetan monk, to revered singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, who traded the pleasures of the senses for several years of living the near-silent life of meditation as a Zen monk. Iyer also draws on his own experiences as a travel writer to explore why advances in technology are making us more likely to retreat. He reflects that this is perhaps the reason why many people—even those with no religious commitment—seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or seeking silent retreats. These aren't New Age fads so much as ways to rediscover the wisdom of an earlier age. Growing trends like observing an “Internet Sabbath”—turning off online connections from Friday night to Monday morning—highlight how increasingly desperate many of us are to unplug and bring stillness into our lives.

The Art of Stillness paints a picture of why so many—from Marcel Proust to Mahatma Gandhi to Emily Dickinson—have found richness in stillness. Ultimately, Iyer shows that, in this age of constant movement and connectedness, perhaps staying in one place is a more exciting prospect, and a greater necessity than ever before.

In 2013, Pico Iyer gave a blockbuster TED Talk. This lyrical and inspiring book expands on a new idea, offering a way forward for all those feeling affected by the frenetic pace of our modern world.

休假的最后一天,不想辜负这美好的闲暇时光,尽管午后阳光强烈,空气湿热,我还是来到酒店面朝大海的阳台上,倒上一杯热茶,坐在躺椅上,随手拿了本书翻看起来。书是昨天在书店买的《安静的力量》。 书的封面上写着: “当代版《瓦尔登湖》,探寻自我的心灵之旅。 ...

在很多年前,上海拥挤的地铁站,透过快速移动的人影,我看到了柱子上的广告。这句话是某面膜的广告语,和停不下来的人群、工作、思绪,形成强烈的反差,那一刻,如此的打动人心。 从小时候开始,我就很喜欢暴雨天,我会拖一个小凳子,坐在院子里,透过稀里哗啦的雨声,我竟然感...

突然发现我最近的状态和这本书里面描述的很像。 其实一开始我是有点排斥里面的内容,因为作者的“逃离”。尤其文中提到,“我觉得自己一直只是在夺路狂奔,却不晓得前进的方向,更未曾问过自己是不是真的幸福。事实上,那样一种每天都很匆忙,到处寻找满足感的过程,似乎就是让...
