The global soul : jet lag, shopping malls, and the search for home
Book •
In this book, Pico Iyer explores the cultural ramifications of globalization through his personal experiences traveling to various locations such as California, Hong Kong, Toronto, Britain, Japan, and the Olympic Games.
Iyer identifies himself as a 'global soul,' an individual who cannot fully adopt a single nationality and often feels like a permanent alien.
The book delves into themes of marginalized cultures, the loss of traditional identities, and the shifting sense of home in a rapidly changing world.
Iyer's essays offer a highly introspective view of his own personhood and the broader implications of globalization on personal identity and belonging.
