As early as 1882, Nietzsche wrote in his book The Cheerful Science: "Rest has already become a matter of shame; prolonged reflections almost cause remorse. A person thinks with his eyes on his watch, just as he eats at lunch with his eyes on the stock market newspaper - a person lives as if he might be constantly late for something." In the 136 years since then, the situation has only gotten worse. In 1991, Time magazine reported on a growing longing to return to the "simple life". 69% of respondents said they would like to "slow down and live a more relaxed life", and a staggering 89% reported that they would like to spend more time with their family. In 2014, a similar survey was conducted and it was found that over half of the respondents want to slow down the pace of their lives. Amit Neufeld takes the readers on a journey to the dawn of modern history and to the key points that shaped the culture of speed that characterizes today. In a clear, fluid language rich in examples, he presents phenomena, trends and processes that urge us to work, consume and live at a fast pace. "History of Speed" provokes a discussion of the economic, emotional and social consequences of the fast pace of life. This is a practical guide to slowing down life, which helps with the decision to slow down, offers ways to enjoy food, work and leisure time more, and allows for more meaningful relationships with family, friends, the environment and the community in which we live. The book, which challenges the characteristics of the age of speed and utilitarian rationality, is part of a global revolution that goes by the name of the "slowdown movement". He reminds us that more often than not, the biggest changes begin with the decision to do less, or even nothing. It may sound strange, but hey, Rosa Parks also changed the world without getting out of her chair. Welcome to join.
