Nearly Thirty Years earlier, Pico Iyer travelled to Japan, fell in love with the nation and moved there. A keen observer of the human spirit, Iyer professes that he now feels he knows far less about Japan– or, indeed, about anything– than he believed he understood 3 decades back. In this lyrical meditation on wisdom, Iyer expands on this curious insight about knowledge acquired with age: that the more we know, the more we see how little we understand.
