Pico Iyer's new book "Aflame" explores the importance of silence amidst a noisy, polarized world, arguing that silence offers a shared space free of division.
Iyer emphasizes the beauty of silence in his discussions, stating, "Silence is a place beyond our words and ideas that belongs to everybody. It’s a non-denominational space."
Reflecting on the need for silence in our divided world, Iyer notes, "It’s a world that’s ever more argumentative and binary, making silence essential to navigate these challenges."
New Camaldoli Hermitage, where Iyer reflects and writes, epitomizes the retreat from modern chaos, featuring no cell service or internet, just peace and introspection.
