Synopsis
„Orice remediu rapid şopteşte aceeaşi promisiune seducătoare de beneficiu maxim cu efort minim. Necazul este că părţile ecuaţiei nu sunt egale. Gândiţi-vă puţin: veneraţia faţă de altarul remediului rapid ne face mai fericiţi, mai sănătoşi şi mai productivi? Ne ajută să abordăm provocările gigantice cu care se confruntă umanitatea la începutul secolului XXI? Există realmente o aplicaţie pentru orice? Fireşte că nu. Încercarea de a rezolva problemele în grabă, lipirea unui plasture atunci când se cere o operaţie chirurgicală, poate să acorde o păsuire temporară – însă de obicei cu preţul acumulării de necazuri şi mai mari pentru mai târziu. Adevărul dur, neplăcut este că remediul rapid nu remediază de fapt niciodată nimic. Şi uneori doar înrăutăţeşte lucrurile.” Carl Honoré
„O carte prietenoasă și inteligentă pentru cei care doresc să schimbe vitezele atât la birou, cât și acasă.” The Economist
„Cartea scrisă de Honoré este o pledoarie extrem de persuasivă împotriva vitezei cu care ne trăim viețile.” Los Angeles Times
„O adevărată epifanie pentru toți cei care au uitat să privească viitorul cu încredere sau să se bucure de moment când acesta apare.” The Herald
„În prezent, graba este răspunsul nostru la orice problemă. Mergem repede, vorbim repede, citim repede, mâncăm repede, facem amor repede, gândim repede. Aceasta este epoca exerciţiilor yoga rapide şi a poveştilor spuse la culcare într-un minut, epoca „la ţanc“ asta şi „pe loc“ cealaltă.” Carl Honoré

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. What do we do when things go wrong in a fast world? Many of us go for the quick fix that delays the problem rather than solving it. To make real progress we need real solutions we need to take time for THE SLOW FIX. People have long been in search of a quick fix. Truth is, it doesnt work. The problems facing us today are bigger and more urgent than ever before and we need to learn to start fixing things properly, rather than settling for short-term solutions. The Slow Fix offers real, life-changing solutions to tackling these problems and extends the movement defined by Carl Honore in his global bestseller, In Praise of Slow, to offer a recipe for problem-solving that can be applied to every walk of life, from business and politics to relationships, education and health reform. Taking time to build up expertise, taking advantage of the hidden benefits of teamwork, finding the right messenger to deliver the message, and employing a transparent approach are all essential elements of the Slow Fix. This book will help you make sense of what is going wrong and right in the world, and gives inspiration, ideas and practical tools to help fix your own life and everything around you. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR004961709
