Happiness is not in a hurry: Slow Life Practices for a Stress-Free and Unhurried Life

 

Living in a rush is considered normal today. The world is constantly speeding up, and we don't want to fall behind, to avoid becoming outsiders. "One must run at full speed just to stay in place, and to get somewhere,... one must run at least twice as fast," said the Queen to Alice. However, many residents of modern cities, having achieved certain successes in life and career, do not feel truly happy because they are tired of the daily race and are unable to enjoy the moment. This book is about how to pursue your goals without haste and fuss, at a comfortable pace, how to learn to pause, stop 'achieving' and start living, and as a result become calmer and happier. Its author reveals the main principles of the Slow Life movement, which has been actively developing since the late 2000s and has captivated hundreds of thousands of people around the world. It discusses the search for one's own, unique rhythm of life and provides practical and easily implementable advice on how to consciously slow down while maintaining productivity and enjoying every moment. The book is addressed to a wide range of readers.
