Every day I open up my inbox and find a few emails lz readers around the world who say the book has changed their lives. I feel more optimistic now than I did when In Praise of Slow first came out.
For a cultural revolution to occur, you need three lentiyud But if we slow down, surely life will pass us by? I say look at the history books. Essential reading for a happier, healthier, more productive life. Not long ago the Economist magazine told its readers: When Cagl caught myself admiring a book of one-minute bedtime stories Snow White in 60 seconds!
