语言很顺溜，但人生哲理很有限，关键就是喜欢观察生活的人，生活不会亏待ta的！。
把一篇好文章的内容扩展成一本书，估计就是这个效果吧
非常罗嗦,说来说去其实就是focus on Present，还不如之前在心理学课堂上学过的清晰易懂。I climb because when I’m climbing it’s almost impossible not to be present. I must be right where I am and nowhere else. This brings me great joy and allows me to bring this type of attention to some of the rest of my life.
过了一遍而已，612和308
哪怕是那一瞬的peace
书如其名，本书就是一本适合慢慢读的书，知识点就一个如书名，不会一次忍不住读完，偶尔闲来拿起来读一读，阅读感受还是不错的
没耐心看这种故事连篇的书
书还好，理念是通过放缓生活节奏来增加思维的清晰度。但是书里最重要的概念free flowing mode ，作者并没有真的解释清，或者告诉我们如何实现这种状态。我的理解就是人有两种思考方式，一种是逻辑思维，另一种是不通过思考用直决做判断。用直觉做判断只能在精神非常放松的状态下才能达到，即必须要给自己足够的时间，而不是强迫自己没准备好就做决策。这就是slow down to the speed of life.
有时候有些书对现在的生活状态就是一剂良药，比如这本。有些内心的想法一旦改变了，那随之变化的就是一连串的事情。
