This book is packed full of ideas and ways that you can slow down and start to really enjoy life. One of my favorite pleasures is the one covering walking with toddlers. Before reading this book, going for a walk with my toddler was by far one of the most frustrating experiences I could think of because he just ambles about on his own time and gets side tracked with the seemingly most mundane things. After reading the entry covering this exact issue, I have taken on a whole new perspective and now our walks together are some of the greatest enjoyments in my day to day life. This book covers it all; taking naps, sleeping in, baths, gardening, smoking and so much more. If you are looking to slow down and enjoy life this is a must have for your bookshelf that you will return to often.

This is a fairly amusing book, however dont expect hours of reading, more of an anecdote book (maybe toilet shelf!)
