Guy Stagg joins Required Reading's new host Morten Høi Jensen to discuss his new book The World Within.
On writing the book: ”All my life I have dreamed of retreat. Of letting go each responsibility and cutting every tie. And I know I’m not the only one. But, when I learnt about the creative figures who left their lives behind, I began to ask myself: what is gained and what is lost when we withdraw from the world?”
