“There is nothing either good or bad, as Shakespeare told in in ‘Hamlet’, but thinking makes it so.” – Pico Iyer

By employing stillness in our lives, we can give ourselves the space to reflect on experiences we might have hastily categorised, and take from them more interesting and nuanced insights.
In this TED Talk, travel writer Pico Iyer shares with us his passion for the concept of stillness. By sharing with us his observations of his own thoughts he highlights the incredible benefits of putting time aside for stillness in your life:
