Sandy Clarke & Eugene Tee, Ph.D.

The Tyranny of Speed invites readers to re-evaluate the relentless pace of modern life and craft a richer life by being more present in and savouring life’s moments.

At its heart, The Tyranny of Speed invites us to step off the treadmill of relentless striving, to savour the beauty in everyday moments, and to cultivate a mindful and ultimately more meaningful way of being. Through their reflections and insights, the authors offer readers valuable strategies to create a life with increased purpose and contentment in an age of shallow distraction.
