The Open Road: The Global Journey of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama
Pico Iyer met the Dalai Lama when he was just seventeen and spent the next three decades sporadically following and meeting up with the Tibetan leader. Iyer is a fantastic writer, has his thumb on the pulse of world affairs, and is intimately interested in his subject. There could be no better author for this book. I was continuously captivated and learned an lot about the Dalai Lama and Tibetan culture. [ full review ]
