Slow | Brooke McAlary
11 posts | 12 read | 11 to read
Dear Mr & Mrs Jones, I am writing to inform you of my withdrawal from the race to keep up with you . . .' Once upon a time, Brooke McAlary thought she was close to having it all. Married to a wonderful man, mother to a lively young daughter, and pregnant for a second time, she'd acquired all the things she'd once thought important-holidays, cars, a renovated home. Yet despite this, she found herself utterly despondent. Realising that they wanted a simpler, more fulfilling existence, Brooke and her family gradually created their own way of living, with an emphasis on depth, connection and experiences. In Slow Brooke gently encourages you to find pleasure and value in a simpler life, sharing the practical tips and rituals that have helped her on her own journey, from decluttering to de-owning, messiness to mindfulness, from asking why to asking where to now? Part memoir, part practical companion, Slow provides a fascinating insight into the benefits of slowing down. It will inspire you to forget about the Joneses and create a life filled with the things that really matter to you . . . slowly, of course.

A great, simple read on how to take a breath and reclaim your life. If you are looking to try slow living, it‘s a good realistic guide.

18. Thought- provoking

I just picked this up from the library. My mom and I "disposed" of a lot of "stuff" last Fall when we had most of our rooms painted and new carpet put in. Since we had to move all the furniture, except for the kitchen stuff, into the garage, it seemed like a great time to give things to Habitat for Humanity and/or the landfill.

My sister has started to live like this with her family and it seems to be working. I had a brief flick through it this morning and it has some sound ideas. They are all at my beach house this New Year period. We are enjoying the water and doing some walking and fishing. I babysat while they went out to dinner last night. It's lovely to be able to spoil my niece and nephew.

I have been wanting to read this since I first heard about it - I‘m a fan if Brooke‘s Podcast and in 2018 I really want to focus on doing less abs and just living - I won‘t be pushing myself to keep up, to have this, do that. Will do things I enjoy and spend my time on family and experiences - hoping this will give me some great ideas how to make it happen

Laura317 Sounds lovely. Is the name of the podcast Slow or Brooke's Podcast? @Michelle_mck (edited) 6y
