In this book Holden shares The Slow Method, principles of slow mind, body, and relationships drawn from the philosophical wisdom of Eastern meditation, martial arts, and philosophies and merged with Western science.

This book teachers you techniques such as meditation, breathing exercises, and conscious communication to help you learn how to slow down. It helps with letting go of things that cause anxiety or stress and attract more positive energy in to your life- something we all need.

Overall it was a great book and I would highly recommend. I am looking forward to reading more from Lee Holden.

This is an excellent and necessary book that everyone needs to read! It is all about slowing down our minds, our bodies, and our relationships. Many simple yet powerful suggestions are given. The author makes many good points about why slowing down our lives is necessary and beneficial.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

“There’s too much at stake not to slow down,” shares Qi Gong master Lee Holden. “By slowing down, you’ll gain time, energy, focus, and clarity.” It seems counterintuitive, yet it's so true. This is the reason why taking a study break at school makes you retain more information when you return. Why taking a short walk during lunch on a long workday leaves you more invigorated. Why the power-nap even exists! In this book, common myths are busted and exercises are provided for retraining your brain and body to slooooow way down...something that doesn't seem to be valued in today's fast-paced society. Do it anyway. You - in twenty years - will thank the you of today.
