"Are you constantly striving to keep up with life's busy expectations? It's easy to feel consumed with the desire to "succeed" and "acquire" and miss the simple opportunities waiting for you to slow down: a walk in the forest, sharing laughter with family, a personal moment of gratitude...Slow provides practical advice and fascinating insights into: messiness to mindfulness, decluttering to de-owning, asking why to asking where to now? Slow is an invitation to live, not just to exist."--Page 4 of cover.

DNF

Got about a quarter of the way through it. Just picked it up because I was between books and it was Available Now at the library. I've read a couple tidying-up/minimalism books by now, so I might be kind of ruined on the concept of a memoir of somebody discovering these principles without contributing much newness to the topic.

That said, I got bored and didn't finish, so maybe the second half was amazing. I guess I'll never know! The library book I was actually waiting for has arrived and I'm moving on! 👋
