In Praise of Slowness by Carl Honoré5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Today, people are dealing with insomnia, migraines, hypertension, asthma and gastrointestinal trouble at higher numbers and at younger ages than ever before. ![]() Even back in 1982, Larry Dossey, an American physician, coined the term “time-sickness” to describe the obsessive belief that “time is getting away, that there isn’t enough of it, and that you must pedal faster and faster to keep up.” The book opens with a bit of a dark premise - our lives are maddeningly fast, and we are rushed, hurried, and burnt out as a result.Īnd it has been that way for a long time. ) Enjoy! The Premise: We Are Time-Starved and Time-Sick Perhaps these notes might inspire you to do the Slow thing and read the whole book, savoring it, instead of just skimming through someone else’s summary notes. This book is one of those that will likely become a timeless classic, continually relevant as humans everywhere strive to make the most of the time we have been given, while trying to maintain balance. Reading the book was such a breath of fresh air that I thought it was worth taking notes and sharing them. But it was only this year that I got around to reading the book that helped this movement make its way around the world: In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed by journalist Carl Honoré. I’ve been following several Instagram accounts over the past few years promoting the Slow movement, and have been fascinated by it ever since. ![]()
