In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed by Carl Honoré

DID NOT FINISH: 58%

I dropped this book after a half of it, since I started to find it boring. I don't know whether it has any instructions on how to live slowly, but it felt almost as fiction about very similar people who enjoy very similar lives. "Our lives became better after we slowed down!", which sounded nice at first, but after dozens of repetitions came to be simply dull. While I got some nice ideas (now I actually want to try out yoga, although I believe this book wasn't the main reason for this thought to come to me), I think that "In Praise of Slowness" could be much shorter, so it wouldn't give an inevitable impression of being a well-written waste of time.
