"description": "Relax, unwind and soak up the wisdom of the sloth with the slowest page turner you\u2019ll ever read.\n\nFrom tidying and Hygge, to living Lagom, the endless pressure to be happier, live better, sleep soundly, and eat mindfully can be exhausting. But this year\u2019s lifestyle trend finally delivers the perfect antidote \u2013 welcome to the year of the sloth.\n\nSloths are mindfulness in action. Contemplative, deliberate, relaxed, and focused. They resist the rat race, the incessant pressures from society to be more productive, and they don\u2019t care how many steps they\u2019ve logged on their fitness tracker. Long-limbed, a little bit shaggy, and a lot wide-eyed, they\u2019re wonderful creatures, not to mention completely adorable.\n\nHere you can enjoy take-it-slow wisdom inspired by sloths; including advice on sleep (more restorative than a 6am run), eating and \u2018exercise\u2019 (sloths are the original pioneers of slow food and yoga after all), work (did you know that lazy people have higher IQs?), family life, and love.\n\nDispelling over-complicated myths about productivity, this brilliant book confirms that it really is OK to be a sloth.
