In Praise of Slow: How a Worldwide Movement Is Challenging the Cult of Speed | 
It was delete day at the library where I work. I ran into a staff member from another department of the college when I was taking the weeded items to the free table, and she was definitely looking forward to taking a look through them! I waited until others had their chance and then grabbed a couple for myself when I was on my way home #BookHaul
so-soI‘m pretty torn on this book. There is a large amount of privilege of slowing down generally. However, this is more of a self help book then having large societal changes. So I have been doing meditation twice a day, yoga every morning, and driving more slowly. I have seen a general happiness from these acts. I suggest this if you‘re feeling like time is constantly slipping away from you.

This has been on my TBR for a long time and, unfortunately, time has not been kind. While there is still some good information and the message of taking your time in a constantly speeding up world is an always worthwhile one, some of the information is out of date and many of the adoptions - the rise of yoga and meditation, for instance - have become part of the culture rather than passing fads. Still useful information, however.
Today's #readjanuary had an overall resonance for me. This book is on my #tbr and it keeps catching my eye. In a training today we spoke of the idea of setting aside time now for slowness and reflection to avoid crisis later in a very crisis-driven field. It had me thinking of the value in a deliberate #slowread. I usually read quickly but there is some appeal in slowing down at times. Will tackle this tbr entry soon.
