Alex Snider with Sharon Calvano and Pete Davis: Sometimes You Should be Late

Presenting an evening inspired by Alex Snider’s new book Sometimes You Should Be Late: The Quiet Rebellion of Slowing Down in a World Obsessed with Speed.

What if the real measure of your life isn’t how fast you run, how much you do, how ‘on time’ you are, but how well you pay attention to what actually matters? Drawing on stories from government, psychology, and everyday life, meditation teacher and writer Alex Snider offers a field guide for reclaiming your attention from urgency culture.

We’ll linger on the patio at The Ivy Bookshop, which inhabits the former home of a meditation community, and engage in a conversation about the quiet courage to slow down. Author Alex Snider, psychotherapist Sharon Calvano, and filmmaker Pete Davis of the documentary Join or Die will be our guides. We hope you can join us.
