a new book out there has been reccommended to me, i have not picked it up yet, but it is called In Praise of Slow and talks about the merits of slowing things down in a world that is obsessed with speeding things up.
check out the blog: http://www.inpraiseofslow.com/slow/blog.php
and here is a quote
"Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save."
what is retirement then if we rushed all of our decisions to get there, taking jobs we dislike, working extra hours to build 401 k's and neglecting ourselves in the hope that when we arrive at the magical age our "self" will still be there and will have all the time in the world to do all the things we want, except that we have lost our passion, creativity and dreams to life in pursuit of retirement.
