Consider the titles of Pico Iyer's four TED Talks - The art of stillness - Where is home? - The beauty of what we'll never know - What ping-pong taught me about life. 10 million views have reaffirmed that he speaks to an essential core of being human.
He speaks about the foundational ideas that creativity rests upon.
Pico has published 15 books and written hundreds of articles for Time, The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, the Financial Times, and many, many other periodicals.
From his website: We lead our lives in the Outer World; we understand them through the Inner. So here is set of journeys through Inner and Outer and the places between. Welcome!
I know his hour with us on Taproot with nourish, enlighten, and reaffirm.
Pico Iyer is one of 10 speakers in the new Taproot creative gathering.

In 2020 and 2022, during the pandemic, I created Taproot, an online gathering, with the purpose of nurturing the creative spirit. We needed community then, and we need it as much or more right now.
Eddie, you introduced me to Pico Iyer at the original Taproot during the pandemic. I have been a fervent follower of his ever since. It will be special to see and hear him again.
The original Taproot was amazing. I still take away things I learned then. Thanks for continuing this.
