Review

Three words for Waverly Fitzgerald's Slow Time: Recovering the Natural Rhythms of Life: It s about time! As a long-time follower of Fitzgerald's School of the Seasons, I had read about this, her upcoming book, for some time and eagerly awaited it. It was worth the wait. Fitzgerald breaks the book up into twelve weeks of lessons, but one can easily read the whole book in a few sittings as her concepts about time are both fascinating and illuminating. The author offers a number of different calendar options and time logs that one can keep, from a daily journal to a seasonal graph. She even offers her own creative calendar where she creates a large collage of the twelve months ahead, using pictures and images that convey the goals of each month. Realistically speaking, it turns out that most people simply try to pack in more into their schedule in one week than 168 hours can possibly hold. Fitzgerald discusses a number of techniques to resolve this issue, often citing other compelling sources she has come across. Fitzgerald has researched much about the body's own rhythm in relationship to time, including circadian rhythms and also ultradian rhythms--a concept I had never heard of--which is like a clock within the body clock. This book was a pleasure to read as it both entertained as well as encouraged me to reframe my constructs of time, and in fact I actually found time to read this amidst the busy holiday season, which speaks volumes about this book's obvious appeal. --Diane Saarinen, NewAgeJournal.com

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book to get you started on a more natural way to plan the schedule of your life, March 12, 2008
This review is from: Slow Time: Recovering the Natural Rhythm of Life (Paperback)
There are many books about organizing and finding extra time out there. What makes this workbook special is Fitzgerald's beautiful organic method of aligning your goals and projects with the energies of the seasons and the natural world. She argues that you can ultimately be more productive and more happy by using some simple lifestyle changes to enhance your work/life efforts. Rising with the sun, sleeping in the dark and starting projects with the new moon are just the beginning of the many ideas Fitzgerald offers on the way to building a healthy balanced life.



This book is part informative, part instructive and part inspirational. Attitudes about time can be so harmful. Being labeled a procrastinator, or being known as the late one can be hard to shake. Fitzgerald takes a historical look at where these attitudes originated and provides great exercises to help unearth and recover from them. Fitzgerald also manages to explain through references to scientific studies and history where units of time like the month have come from and why time does seem like it is going faster all the time.



Then there are some gems of exercises in here: the dream schedule exercise is extremely helpful in understanding weekly priorities and it is fun to do. Another extremely useful exercise has the reader attach things they might want to do like exercise or pray to event time rather than to the clock. But honestly the juiciest parts of the book for me are the chapters she dedicates to the seasons. Here the pleasures of reading about spring, summer, autumn and winter and finding ways to use what is naturally happening in the world as a kind of guide to how to plan your creative efforts are the most easy for me to "get" and the most poetic too.



If you are hurried all the time and find that you can't believe it is summer or winter holidays already, this book will help you savor and embrace the natural rhythm of your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slow Time is a Good Time!, March 20, 2008
This review is from: Slow Time: Recovering the Natural Rhythm of Life (Paperback)
I feel that Slow Time is changing my life, because I was very taken with artificial time:calendars, planners, clocks and watches) and now I am understanding the value of Slow Time and the natural rhythm of nature. Waverly Fitzgerald offers us many ways and techniques to get back in touch with nature and natural rhythms so that we can relax and get back to the waythings should be. No matter where you live, you can reap the benefits from this amazing book.It's a great way to learn once again how to be in tune and reconnect with yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book For The Millinium, January 29, 2009
This review is from: Slow Time: Recovering the Natural Rhythm of Life (Paperback)
I have read this book several times now and absorb something new from it each time I read "Slow Time".
Not only does the book remind you of what you are missing on a day to day basis, but gives you ideas and suggestions on how you can slow your life down and enjoy it daily, weekly, monthly, anytime.
Ms. Fitzgerald grasps an excellent understanding of how humans get caught in the "time loop".
Not only will you break out of your "time loop", but you will create your own time.
