In our contemporary world, where the relentless pace of technological advancement and societal expectations creates an environment of perpetual urgency, the act of slowing down has evolved from a luxury to a fundamental necessity.

This PODCAST and FREE PDF BRIEFING examines twelve interconnected perspectives that collectively offer a roadmap towards more intentional living, challenging the prevailing narrative that equates speed with success and busyness with productivity.

The modern condition is characterised by what sociologists' term “time poverty”—a paradoxical state where, despite labour-saving technologies, individuals feel increasingly pressed for time. This phenomenon has profound implications for mental health, relationship quality, and overall life satisfaction. The twelve perspectives outlined in this report are not merely philosophical musings but practical frameworks for addressing this contemporary challenge.

Each perspective presented works as both a standalone concept and an integral part of a larger system of intentional living. Together, they form a coherent philosophy that prioritises depth over breadth, quality over quantity, and presence over productivity. This approach does not advocate for the abandonment of ambition or achievement but rather for their refinement and conscious direction.
