"Engagingly written and filled with interesting detail... a timely manifesto for a more civilised world." SUNDAY TIMES Culture, 6 August Presents an eloquent case for a thorough re-examination of priorities and shows how even subtle shifts in the way we live can have a very real effect on our well-being. THE GUARDIAN, 20 August "Engaging." THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY, 14 August Readable and persuasive... it is virtually impossible to read Honore's book without deciding to take things, you know, a little slower from now on. THE IRISH TIMES, 27 August His advice is too grounded in day-to-day practicality to be guilty of didacticism or whimsy... read this uplifting and enlightening book very soon; but do, please, take your time.
