Tania Ketenjian continues her discussion with Pico Iyer, who has written eleven books, the most recent of which is The Open Road: The Global Journey of the 14th Dalai Lama. Based on his travels with the Dalai Lama over the past 30 years, The Open Road has received praised from, among other sources, The New Yorker, which stated, "The bracing virtue of Iyer’s thoughtful essay is that it allows us to imagine the Dalai Lama as something of an intellectual and spiritual adventurer, exploring fresh sources of individual identity and belonging in the newly united world." Iyer himself comes across as an intellectual and spiritual adventurer and, when speaking with him, one witnesses the wisdom of experience and the innocence of curiosity (30 minutes).
