Rachel SchwartzmannFirst to rec“Slowing is a collection of personal stories, interviews (with trailblazers like Nicholas Barasch, Jezz Chung, Rachel Fleit, Lyn Slater, Sophia Roe, Fanny Singer, and more), and prompts about time, pace, and creativity. The book's origins stem from my project, Slow Stories, and my experiences of navigating an age that prized productivity, speed, and external validation. Combining evocative—and slow—storytelling, guided prompts, and inspiring design, Slowing offers a distinct lens on time and attention.”
