"In burnished, exquisite prose, Browning describes her feelings of being set adrift until she gradually transforms her helter-skelter days into a deliberate, contemplative way of life." -The Boston Globe In late 2007, Dominique Browning, the editor-in-chief of Conde Nast's House & Garden, was informed that the magazine had folded-and she was out of a job. Suddenly divested of the income and sense of purpose that had driven her for most of her adult life, Browning panicked. But freed of the incessant pressure to multi-task and perform, she unexpectedly discovered a more meaningful way to live. Browning's witty and thoughtful memoir has already touched a chord with reviewers and readers alike. While untold millions are feeling the stress of modern life, Slow Love eloquently reminds us to appreciate what we have-a timely message that we all need to hear.

I'm not sure what I expected from this book, but I felt like something was missing. It was OK, but the main character (author), whined a lot. A few times, I thought I was reading something my nine year-old granddaughter would say. I'm not sure the author really found happiness at the end. I felt like she was waiting for something to happen to change her life again. Don't go out of your way to read this one, but if it comes by, take a glance.
