In Praise of Slow: How a Worldwide Movement is Challenging the Cult of Speed
|
By Carl Honore
Carl Honore explores negative the consequences of society's tendency to go fast - whether driving or eating or waiting for a web-site to load – and then introduces readers to the alternative…the Slow Movement. He argues that 'fast is busy, controlling, aggressive, hurried, analytical, stressed, superficial, impatient, active, quantity-over-quality. Slow is the opposite: calm, careful, receptive, still, intuitive, unhurried, patient, reflective, quality-over-quantity.'
The Slow Movement started with food but has spread to everything from cities and medicine to sex and work. The book has chapters devoted to different aspects of the slow movement.
The P'lovers Book Club members loved this book, claiming that (a) it has almost displaced Three Cups of Tea as their favourite and (b) it has encouraged each person to examine their lives and make some changes to be able to savor experiences.
