Slow Philosophy is not just a theoretical book that explains a new way of life, but it also goes one step further and provides us with a whole new way of seeing things, enabling us to appreciate details that we had always ignored but which have and will continue to have a huge impact both on ourselves and on those around us. Sooner or later we all reach a point in life where we realize that we are caught in a spiral that we ourselves have made, and from which we cannot escape. We usually say we are doing fine, or that certain bad things that happen to us are inevitable and we have to face up to them as best we can. But is this what we really feel, or are we just trying to convince ourselves that everything is fine, when what we really want to do with all our heart is to change the inertia we live in?Once we are in this spiral, it is very difficult to get out. All the mainstays of our life revolve around it, and even though we might propose changing certain things, the dizzying rhythm we live in today ends up dragging us back to it.It is no good trying to change something we have been doing for years, even for generations, without first knowing where we come from, where we are and where we want to take our lives and those of our friends and family. Slow Philosophy shows us how to make the most of the knowledge of our ancestors and to complement it with the advances we currently enjoy, and in this way to realize what we really are and what we really want. This will enable us to choose the road that guarantees us a basis for a solid and stable life, both for ourselves and for future generations.
