What ping-pong taught me about life

No subtitles available.
Title:
Ping pong i l'enigma de la victòria
Speaker:
Pico Iyer
Description:

Growing up in England, Pico Iyer was taught that the point of a game was to win. Now, some 50 years later, he's realized that competition can be "more like an act of love." In this charming, subtly profound talk, he explores what regular games of ping-pong in his neighborhood in Japan have revealed about the riddle of winning -- and shows why not knowing who's won can feel like the ultimate victory.
