The Art of Stillness: Adventures in Going Nowhere by Pico IyerMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
Art of Stillness talks about and around 'stillness' for the whole of the book. The author makes it clear in the beginning of the book itself that it is not a manual on how to meditate or a guide on practising 'stillness'. The fault lies with me for taking this up and giving a one start rating. But it the rating represents how I felt and has nothing to do with the book in objective terms. If you like to read an individuals stream of consciousness survey of stillness you may prefer to read this. I wanted to learn about dish washing, I do not want to listen to someone preaching for pages about dish washing philosophy (even though meditation lend itself to infinite philosophical thoughts).
