A book that takes its time: an unhurried adventure in creative mindfulness, hardcover/irene smit

Take time to breathe.

Take time to create.

Take time to reflect, take time to let go.

A book thats unique in the way it mixes reading and doing, A Book That Takes Its Time is like a mindfulness retreat between two covers.

Created in partnership with Flow , the groundbreaking international magazine that celebrates creativity, beautiful illustration, a love of paper, and lifes little pleasures, A Book That Takes Its Time mixes articles, inspiring quotes, and what the editors call ``goodies``--bound-in cards, mini-journals, stickers, posters, blank papers for collaging, and more--giving it a distinctly handcrafted, collectible feeling.

Read about the benefits of not multitasking, then turn to ``The Joy of One Thing at a Time Notebook`` tucked into the pages.

After a short piece on the power of slowing down, fill in the designed notecards for a Beautiful Moments jar.

Make a personal timeline.

Learn the art of hand-lettering.

Dig into your Beginners Mind.

Embrace the art of quitting.

Take the writing cure.

And always smile.

Move slowly and with intention through A Book That Takes Its Time, and discover that sweet place where life can be both thoughtful and playful.
