Aflame: Learning from Silence

ARC review� I'm grateful to Riverhead books for the gifted ARC of the book.
Aflame: Learning from Silence is Pico Iyer's experiences living at a Hermitage weaved into a beautiful book.
He explores the paradoxes of human existence, and how they can be aligned with sustainability of the human consciousness. He focuses on the point that change is constant, and we mostly learn to accept it in adverse or unfavorable circumstances.
He has woven personal experiences of loss, spirituality, and healing via the medium of examination of dialogues he had with the members of the Hermitage, his friends, and above all, Dalai Lama.
He has put examples from real life, one being his friend's divorce and reconciliation after a break - for looking at same things with different perspectives.
It's a quick read, the language is easy, and is quite evocative and brings a retrospective aura along with it.
