Arcturus | Book | Little Book of Sloth Philosophy

Slow down. Get comfy. The sloths might actually be onto something.

In a world constantly telling us to do more, move faster, sleep better, eat mindfully and somehow fit a 6am workout in as well, this delightfully funny little book offers another option entirely — embrace your inner sloth.

Sloths are practically mindfulness in action. They're deliberate, relaxed, focused and entirely uninterested in how many steps they've managed to log before lunchtime.

Packed with wonderfully slow-paced wisdom inspired by these shaggy, wide-eyed creatures, this book explores sleep, food, exercise, work, family and love, all while questioning our obsession with productivity and the never-ending pressure to be doing something.

Discover why a good sleep might be considerably more appealing than that early morning run, why sloths could claim to be pioneers of both slow food and yoga, and why sometimes doing a little less isn't such a terrible idea after all.

Funny, reassuring and wonderfully giftable, this is one to leave on the coffee table, pop beside the bed or give to that person in your life who could perhaps do with taking things down a notch.
