IN PRAISE OF SLOWNESS
How a Worldwide Movement is Challenging the Cult of Speed
By Carl Honoré
For the stressed
person, this book praises for a more measured life, a philosophy of
“balance.” In convincing and skillful prose, the author explores how a
quiet revolution known as “the slow movement” is attempting to
integrate an “inner slowness” that gives more depth to relationships
with one’s self and with others. The author also presents other useful
slow movements, such as alternative medicine and leisure activities,
like painting and music.
