520    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 counter-intuitive truth: The 
       more ways we have to connect, the more we seem desperate 
       to unplug. Why would a man who seems able to go everywhere
       and do anything-like the international heartthrob and Rock
       'n' Roll Hall of Famer Leonard Cohen-choose to spend years
       sitting still and going nowhere? What can Nowhere offer 
       that no Anywhere can match? And 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 and getting to know the seasons and 
       landscapes of Nowhere might be the ultimate adventure? In 
       The Art of Stillness, Iyer draws on the lives of well-
       known wanderer-monks like Cohen-as well as from his own 
       experiences as a travel writer who chooses to spend most 
       of his time in rural Japan-to explore why advances in 
       technology are making us more likely to retreat. Iyer 
       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 tai chi. These aren't New Age 
       fads so much as ways to rediscover 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 and
       reviving those ancient customs known as family meals and 
       conversation. 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. The Art of Stillness paints a picture of why so 
       many have found richness in stillness and what-from Marcel
       Proust to Blaise Pascal to Phillipe Starck-they've gained 
       there.
