While there are many benefits to this modern way of life, it feels like something is lacking. With more speed, there is less savoring. With more convenience, there is less satisfaction. With more in general, there is less time and space for what truly matters.\nIn Slow and Strenuous, Peter Gierlach embarks on a year-long journey to rebel against our fast-paced world of convenience in search of a calmer, more fulfilling way of living in the modern age. Inspired by a series of life-altering events, Gierlach develops a series of life experiments to challenge the assumption that \"faster and easier\" creates a more satisfying experience of the world.\n\nWith stories that include de-optimizing his morning routine, going ten days without internet, and facing his deepest fears head-on, Gierlach's entertaining and thought-provoking journey will have you questioning society's constant push for speed. And it will show you the importance of living our one beautiful life with intention - so we can make it one that’s worth paying attention to.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0FMHWN624\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0FMHWN624.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gierlach, Peter\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
