Does this guy have any obligations?,
By Aurene (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Power of Slow: Finding Balance and Fulfillment beyond the Cult of Speed (Audio CD)
I started listening to this and quit after awhile due to the sonorous sounds of this guy. The concepts are good but I think this guy must not have a wife, kids, a regular job, home repairs, etc. It seems he's got plenty of time to contemplate his navel. It's unrealistic for a person like me who is gone from 7 am to 7 pm on to a job downtown (that includes 1.5 hours commute time each way), and I am a homeowner (single family home). The home needs tending to. I just married a guy out of state so we talk every night. That also takes time. That's about my life right now and I will be moving to be with him soon and THEN I can slow down. But for now I can't, and this guy is kind of in la-la land.

Oh, the irony: An abridged version of The Power of Slow,
This review is from: The Power of Slow: Finding Balance and Fulfillment beyond the Cult of Speed (Audio CD)
I want to like this book, but in an unabridged form. I'm trying to slow down and savor my moments. Why is this title offered as an abridged version?

This review is from: The Power of Slow: Finding Balance and Fulfillment beyond the Cult of Speed (Audio CD)
This CD set is an excellent source for everyone in this 24 hour rush to get a handle on their day and life to begin to enjoy the moment again.
I have bought this as a gift for several people who also said it made them look at the world and their time in a much more healthy and productive way. I very much recommend this CD set.
