Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:

A modern phrase sums up perfectly a lifestyle which has prevailed in Ireland since the first Celtic herdsman reclined on the turf with a happy sigh. The phrase is 'laid back.' Time, they will tell you in Ireland, is the one asset each of us has in equal measure: 24 hours of it replenished every single day. Most of us treat it like money - budgeting it, counting it, auditing it, and trying to make a profit from it. The Irish regard it as part of their heritage; an heirloom to be cherished like a work of art. Time is too precious to be squandered on mundane commerce. A conversation struck up with a fellow passenger on a bus can have either or both of you missing the stop. A visit to the pub can extend well beyond the limit you set yourself, for there is no such thing in Ireland as a quick drink.
