The Power of Slow

Coming October 2009, I'll have a quote in a book titled, The Power of Slow: 101 Ways to Save Time in Our 24/7 World.

I cannot wait to read it and send you a review.

I had a friend visit a few years ago who spent most of her visit on her phone text messaging family members back home. Not only did it hurt my feelings to feel so "unimportant" that she'd travel several states to see me but not actually "see me" but it made me realize that if we're not careful, even the most convenient technology can rob us of something very precious--time.

Then I got a bout of Bell's Palsy and realized how even the stresses of life, if not properly handled, can rob us of so much including relationships and good health.

Here's a quick Press Release of the book just in case you want to pre-order a copy for yourself:

Getting to the heart of our hassled and over-scheduled existence, Christine Louise Hohlbaum cheerfully investigates 101 ways to increase our quality of life and
productivity by reevaluating how we perceive and use time. She claims that everyone has their own personal bank account of time. We cannot control time itself, but
we can manage the activities within the time we do have. The Power of Slow gives readers practical, concise directions to change the relationship they have with time and debunks the myths of multitasking, speed, and urgency as the only ways to efficiency.

The Power of Slow will help readers identify areas in need of improvement, show them how to become more efficient and less frazzled at work and at home, and illustrate how to live a better, more balanced life.
