The Open Road: The Global Journey of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama

In The Open Road, Pico Iyer sheds light on the Dalai Lama - political leader, Nobel laureate, spiritual luminary, and the man who opened Tibet to the world.

There couldn't be a better person to write about the Dalai Lama. In addition to six works of nonfiction and two novels, Iyer has written about world affairs and globalism for Time, Harper's, National Geographic, and other periodicals. What's more, Iyer met the Dalai Lama when he was just seventeen, sparking a relationship that has lasted decades and spanned continents. With this unique insight, Pico Iyer engages both his subject and his reader like no other author could.
