Slow

Simple Living for a Frantic World

De: Brooke McAlary

Narrado por: Larissa Gallagher

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....

Once upon a time, it became clear to Brooke McAlary the key to happiness was discovering a simpler, more fulfilling existence. She put the brakes on her stressful path and reorganized her life to live outside the status quo, emphasizing depth, connection, and meaningful experiences.

Alongside Brooke's affirming personal stories of breaking down and rising up, Slow provides practical advice and fascinating insights into the benefits and challenges of the slow life, such as: decluttering to de-owning; messiness to mindfulness; and asking "Why?" to asking "Where to now?"

Slow is an inspirational guide on creating a life filled with the things that really matter, and it is meant for anyone seeking peace, meaning, and joy in their otherwise rapid lives.

I enjoyed it!

I listen while I drive and try and take in as much as I can. I may have to buy a physical copy just to go over. I am at a point in life where I’m in the car a lot and very busy with school and work so I eagerly want to implement some slow living in my life bc it’s the opposite of what im doing. This summer break I plan to really put the book in practice before another wave of busyness hits in august. I really took to heart the message of not focusing on something as silly as Jean size and instead how you want to be perceived as a person. I loved that part.
Overall I really loved it, and I love the way she says DVD 😂

Read this now.

Practical and helpful ideas for living a simpler life. I might even listen again! Highly recommend.

Taking it slow

I originally got this as inspiration to listen to while I decluttered. It fired me up but by the end I also found an inner peace that going slow is acceptable. I’m taking things more slowly now and it’s peaceful.

So good

This book was absolutely what I needed. It was so good!! It's extremely helpful if you are in this phase of life.

conversational tone

The author uses a conversational tone that I enjoy, making it warmer and more reasonable than much of the simplifying advice I see. I enjoyed this book, it wasn't completely mind blowing or anything like that, but it had lots of good stuff that was easy to read.
