The need to go there!!

I have a friend who doesn’t understand the value of travel. He thinks that the virtual world provides him all of the insight he needs into new places and new experiences. I think nothing can be further from reality and believe that author Pico Iyer is a living embodiment of that. For years he has introduced us to his experiences of the world in books like "The Lady and the Monk," "The Global Soul" and "The Open Road." In his new work, The Man Within My Head he shares with us his own internal journey of a life lived not behind a screen, but in the real world, interfacing with real people and real experience.
