Readable and persuasive… it is virtually impossible to read Honore’s book without deciding to take things, you know, a little slower from now on * IRISH TIMES *
His advice is too grounded in day-to-day practicality to be guilty of didacticism or whimsy… read this uplifting and enlightening book very soon; but do, please, take your time * TLS *
