Most of us dream of it, but each of us has very different ideas about where it is to be found. For some it can be enjoyed only after death; for others, it's in our midst--or just across the ocean--if only we can find eyes to see it. Traveling from Iran to North Korea, from the Dalai Lama's Himalayas to the ghostly temples of Japan, Pico Iyer brings together a lifetime of explorations to upend our ideas of utopia and ask how we might find peace in the midst of difficulty and suffering. Does religion lead us back to Eden or only into constant contention? Why do so many seeming paradises turn into warzones? And does paradise exist only in the afterworld--or can it be found in the here and now? For almost fifty years Iyer has been roaming the world, mixing a global soul's delight in observing cultures with a pilgrim's readiness to be transformed. In this culminating work, he brings together the outer world and the inner to offer us a surprising, original, often beautiful exploration of how we might come upon paradise in the midst of our very real lives"--Amazon.com   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 203.5 Iy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 203.5 Iy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 203.5 Iyer Checked out 07/03/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 203.5 Iy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 203.5 Iy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 203.5 Iy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 203.5 Iy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 203.5 Iy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 203.5 Iy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 203.5 Iy Item being held   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
