“So let's not pretend that travel is always fun. We don't spend 10 hours lost in the Louvre because we like it, and the view from the top of Machu Picchu probably doesn't make up for the hassle of lost luggage. (More often than not, I need a holiday after my holiday.) We travel because we need to, because distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity. When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has been changed, and that changes everything.” NeedsMindHas BeensStillsHomeLostFunHoursDifferencesViewsSecretCreativityChangedDistanceHolidayLuggageHassleLouvreHome HomeMachu PicchuView From The Top Author:Jonah Lehrer
“Distance changes utterly when you take the world on foot. A mile becomes a long way, two miles literally considerable, ten miles whopping, fifty miles at the very limits of conception. The world, you realize, is enormous in a way that only you and a small community of fellow hikers know. Planetary scale is your little secret.” KnowsWorldWayLittlesLongTwoRealizingCommunitySecretFeetWalkingTenLimitsFellowsDistanceMilesScalesEnormousFiftyConceptionLong WayHikerSmall CommunitiesWalk In The WoodsWalks In The Woods Author:Bill Bryson

“I would love to tell you I've found the secret to eternal youth. I go to the gym and avoid too many chips.

“We travel because we need to, because distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity. When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has been changed, and that changes everything. Several new science papers suggest that getting away is an essential habit of effective thinking. When we escape from the place we spend most of our time, the mind is suddenly made aware of all those errant ideas we'd previously suppressed. We start thinking about obscure possibilitiebsthat never would have occurred to us if we'd stayed home.” IfsThinkingNeedsMindHas BeensMadeStillsIdeasHomeDifferencesSecretCreativityChangedHabitEssentialsPaperDistanceOur TimeGet AwayObscurePapersHome Home Author:Jonah Lehrer
