Acerca de esta escucha
Looking for peace and happiness? Slow Living, is your guide on how to slow down your life and live peacefully. Helena Woods, author and creator of popular YouTube channel Simple Joys, reveals the wisdom she has learned by moving abroad from the US and living a slower life in France. With beautiful prose, she provides inspiration and guidance to create a simple living environment wherever you are.
Slow Living is for anyone looking to simplify life. Personal growth books for women tend to leave out men and children, but this book was intentionally crafted with everyone in mind! If you're looking for how to improve yourself and how to get into simple living, then this is the guide for you! For many, a slow European lifestyle seems out of reach, but with the direction in this book, listeners are able to craft this lifestyle for themselves anywhere, anytime.
You'll find: ways to value quiet moments, which bring simple joys to your life; how slow living takes root when less becomes more in your home; a guide on how to simplify your everyday life for mental clarity; and how to create routines that enrich your mind and feed your soul. If you like books for homebodies or if you enjoyed Slow, Essentialism, or Simple Pleasures, you'll love Slow Living.

Why are Danes the happiest people in the world? The answer, says Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, is hygge. Loosely translated, hygge - pronounced hoo-ga - is a sense of comfort, togetherness, and well-being. "Hygge is about an atmosphere and an experience," Wiking explains. "It is about being with the people we love. A feeling of home. A feeling that we are safe."

Rachel Pollack’s Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom inspired a whole generation of Tarot students. Often referred to as the "Bible of Tarot books", it is a landmark book that helped launch today’s Tarot renaissance. Drawing on mythology and esoteric traditions and delving deeply into the symbolism and ideas of each card, the book offers a modern psychological interpretation of the tarot archetypes rather than a system of esoteric symbolism.

We live in the age of speed. We strain to be more efficient, to cram more into each minute, each hour, each day. Since the Industrial Revolution shifted the world into high gear, the cult of speed has pushed us to a breaking point. Consider these facts: Americans on average spend 72 minutes of every day behind the wheel of a car, a typical business executive now loses 68 hours a year to being put on hold, and American adults currently devote on average a mere half hour per week to making love.

Essentialism is more than a time-management strategy or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter.

In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called döstädning, dö meaning "death" and städning meaning "cleaning." This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner rather than later, before others have to do it for you. In The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs listeners to embrace minimalism.

Burnout. Many women in America have experienced it. What’s expected of women and what it’s really like to be a woman in today’s world are two very different things - and women exhaust themselves trying to close the gap between them. Sisters Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Instead of asking us to ignore the very real obstacles and societal pressures that stand between women and well-being, they explain with compassion and optimism what we’re up against - and teach us how to fight back.

Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?” You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives - they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including whom to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love.

Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things—a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: Instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others.

We all follow our own path in life. At least, that's what we're told. In reality, many of us either do what is expected of us, or follow the invisible but well-worn paths that lead to what is culturally acceptable. For some, those paths are fine - even great. But they leave some of us feeling disconnected from ourselves and what we really want. When that discomfort finally outweighs the fear of trying something new, we're ready to opt out.

We live in the age of speed. We strain to be more efficient, to cram more into each minute, each hour, each day. Since the Industrial Revolution shifted the world into high gear, the cult of speed has pushed us to a breaking point. Consider these facts: Americans on average spend 72 minutes of every day behind the wheel of a car, a typical business executive now loses 68 hours a year to being put on hold, and American adults currently devote on average a mere half hour per week to making love.

Amazing book with great ideas
The book was quite insightful, as it taught me how to take a step back and appreciate the beauty of life. However, I believe that incorporating more vibrant voice energy would make it even more engaging and enjoyable to read.

Living Slow as a Mindset
Wonderful book! This book is more focused on the mindset of living slow. Not in a distant location or online store, but exactly where you are in the world and in life. Even living in a downtown core, this book reminds me I can still live slowly. Love it!

Patriarchal Pitfalls: Book Review of Slow Living
Okay, I'm going to be real with everyone. I could not finish this book. Not because it reads like a blog (Which it does) and I'm not saying that there aren't any excellent lessons in this book because I'm sure there are but because it giving "I love the patriarchy but shine it up to be more modern".
Like she talks about feminine energy and masculine energy, but it just so happens that feminine energy is receiving, kicking back and relaxing, while masculine energy is a powerhouse, a go get em' attitude. Like I understand cultural and religious differences and I believe in energies and all that they can do. The big problem is when you are giving a right and wrong way. It's giving "women belong in the kitchen and at home where they can be "feminine"" but without saying the quiet part out loud. It feels very tradwife but without saying it's tradwife.
I believe EVEYONE has to slow down in this always on society, burnout is real and everyone can experience it no matter their gender. The author wrote this book with only women in mind, and with very patriarchical values. And it's not just a one line and done thing there are like at least 2 chapters of it.
In conclusion, I don't blame the author for pushing stereotypes of people as it's a fairly common societal problem. But I don't know if anyone who considers themselves more than just a "traditional feminine woman" will enjoy this book, which is a real shame as it had so much potential.
