| Sumario: | "Starting with the single observation that no one seems to have time anymore, best-selling author Heather Menzies pulls the connecting threads to unravel the crisis of meaning and accountability threatening to paralyze society today. Seeing a link between various diseases of our times - from stress and depression among adults to attention deficit disorder in kids - Menzies argues that what's happening to people is also happening to institutions and society at large." "Somewhere between the multi-tasking pace and the sea of data divorced from real life, we're losing touch with ourselves and with each other. We're even losing a sense of how to tell when things go wrong and how to take action when they do. Weaving together personal conversations, wide-ranging research and insightful critique, No Time speaks directly to what lies beneath the surface of many issues confronting society today. It also ends on a note of hope by suggesting what we can do to restore balance in our personal lives, renew humanity in our social institutions and create a more human scale of time and space in our social environment."--Jacket |
