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
