In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed
by Carl Honoré
inspiring
reflective
4.5
I thought this was really interesting and insightful. So many different ways that we can slow down and enjoy meaningful activities (or inactivity) that I hadn't thought of before. I 100% agree that cramming more things makes you more stressed. I see that in my life now and now know that was a problem for me during my later childhood. The crafting and reading I do is great for slowing down and I'll definitely continue with those hobbies. At the same time though, I'll need to make sure I don't feel pressure to read x amount of books or make something in a certain time frame since that will counter the point of doing those activities. Continue to enjoy the slower activities as a way to recharge and rest.
