In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed
by Carl Honoré
I bought this book years ago and never found time to read it. Quelle surprise! But I finally made the time and found it to be the balm or mirror we all need right now. If you’re feeling slow or sluggish already this book will smile at you warmly, pat you on the back, and help you settle deeper into that slower, wiser, more meandering self. In fact, you’ll feel positively virtuous for doing so! And if you’re the opposite, if you feel like the treadmill you’re on was just cranked to 10, then this book will offer you a little reflection to encourage you to pause and take pulse. Chock full of research and wonderfully narrated by Carl Honoré in that “sitting beside you on the bus” vein of Quiet or So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed, I felt like this was the book I have needed for years. As they sing in RENT: "There's only this. Forget regret. Or life is yours to miss." Slow it down. And read this wonderful book.
