“I was living my life like a Ferrari with no brakes.”

Matthew Kelly spent thirty years rushing from one thing to the next. Leaving one thing early, arriving at the next thing late, squeezing as much as was inhumanely possible into each day—always striving for more, better, and faster.

But then something changed.

Slowing Down to the Speed of Joy is a deeply personal book. It provides a rare and intimate look at the author’s own struggles with busy and urgent. By revealing his own vulnerabilities, Kelly provides us with the practical insights and timeless wisdom necessary to banish busy and urgent from our own lives.

The faster you go the more likely you are to crash, but we just keep going faster. We think if we get all the urgent stuff done, we will have time for what’s important. But we never do.

Busy is not your friend. Only a toxic friend leaves you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, discouraged, exhausted, stressed, inadequate and resentful. It’s time to take our lives back from this tyrant.

The speed and busyness of our lives stand in direct opposition to what we say matters most. It’s time for a new strategy. It’s time to embrace the speed of joy.

Slowing Down to the Speed of Joy isn’t just a book. It’s a way of life. It will quite simply and in every way imaginable change your life.
