Description

There is a particular kind of tiredness that comes from hurrying towards a version of your life that keeps moving.

There Is No Rush is a book of short reflections for exactly that. Each piece is brief enough to read in the time it takes a kettle to boil, and is meant to be taken one at a time rather than straight through.

They circle the same few things: the cost of speed, the permission to leave something unfinished, and the ordinary relief of noticing where you already are.

This is not a manual and there are no steps. It is closer to company than instruction — written for people who already know what they should be doing, and would rather be reminded that they are allowed to stop.

Keep it by the bed, in a bag, or wherever you are most likely to be rushing.
