We live in times of uncertainty and paradoxes. We long for a good quality of life, to stop running, to live our personal and social relationships with peace of mind, but reality forces us to speed up. We dream of a more just and peaceful world, but we have serious ecological problems and at the same time social inequalities are growing as never before. The rush society has invaded everything and threatens to stay. The situation is conflictive, but poses an exciting challenge: to get out of this impasse together by making profound changes in our living habits. Learning to live in a more leisurely, more equitable and attentive way to human values. Maria Novo addresses in this book a hopeful and constructive vision to transform the rush society. She tells stimulating stories of cities, collectives and people who are changing. It provides criteria and proposals for a different, more serene and happier way of living. And it reminds us that taking a step in this direction should not be a sacrifice, but something positive that places us on the bright side of humanity.
