I think there's one other thing that really struck me as this idea of external paradise. If you go to travel agency, every place is presenting itself as a Shangri-La or paradise. And in those days, the little lanes of Bali were full of shacks selling masks. I realized, I didn't have a clue what was going on, and that indeed Eden is the place with a serpent inside it. That something much stronger was happening around me than I could get a grasp on.
In this episode, Pico Iyer shares his insights on the universal search for paradise and how it can be found within ourselves. Drawing from his own experiences and observations of different cultures around the world, Iyer offers a unique and thought-provoking perspective on the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment. From the outer world to the inner, he takes listeners on a journey of self-discovery and encourages us to find paradise in the midst of our daily lives.
