Product Description
SLOWING DOWN ISN’T ABOUT DOING LESS – IT’S ABOUT EXPERIENCING MORE.
The Tyranny of Speed invites readers to re-evaluate the relentless pace of modern life and craft a richer life by being more present in and savouring life’s moments.
By examining the impact of our fast-paced culture, from technology’s effects on our attention to how we relate to ourselves and others, the authors offer practical strategies for reclaiming a sense of agency over what truly matters. This book draws on psychological research, mindfulness, and personal experience, encouraging readers to reconsider the societal narratives around productivity and redefining our relationship with the prevailing culture of immediacy and perpetual busyness.
At its heart, The Tyranny of Speed invites us to step off the treadmill of relentless striving, to savour the beauty in everyday moments, and to cultivate a mindful and ultimately more meaningful way of being. Through their reflections and insights, the authors offer readers valuable strategies to create a life with increased purpose and contentment in an age of shallow distraction.
“The Tyranny of Speed is a timely and necessary read. I found it thought-provoking to reflect on how much of life is shaped by urgency and distraction. The authors offer something rare: a grounded, compassionate, and practical call to slow down, pay attention, and be intentional about what truly matters.”
