Silence and stillness, the universal medicine | Pico Iyer, Elise Hu
About this episode
Pico Iyer discusses the importance of silence and mindfulness in a fast-paced world.
In a world growing louder, faster and more fractured, author Pico Iyer makes the case for a radical act of repair. Explore why tapping into silence may be the best medicine you can give yourself, and everyone around you. (Following his talk at TED2025, he joins Elise Hu, host of TED Talks Daily, to share how he finds time for silence and mindfulness in a hyperactive world, why he avoids going online and how his previous TED Talk about ping pong led to him being cast in the film “Marty Supreme.”) Hosted on Acast.
