La sociedad de las prisas

We live in times of uncertainty and paradoxes. We yearn for a good quality of life, stop running, live our personal and social relationships calmly, but reality forces us to speed up. We dream of a more just and peaceful world, but we have serious ecological problems while social inequalities are growing like never before. The rush society has invaded everything and threatens to stay. The situation is controversial, but it poses an exciting challenge: getting out of this quagmire together by making profound changes in our lifestyles. Learn to live in a more leisurely, more equitable and attentive to human values. Maria Novo addresses in this book a hopeful and constructive vision to transform the society of haste. She tells inspiring stories of cities, groups and people that are changing. She provides criteria and proposals for another way of living, more serene and happy. And she reminds us that taking a step in that direction should not be a sacrifice, but something positive that places us on the bright side of humanity.
