Speed alone is a useless factor if you don't take in consideration the conditions of the drive. Taking hours in a comfortable train, with my laptop, a power socket and 4G is not the same as in the sub suck standing between to a fat sweating smelling dude and a crying baby. It's not the same if I have an appointment or if I'm going to my holiday. It's not the same if it's cold and raining or sunny with birds singing. People don't just go fast for the sake of speed. It has a purpose. So yeah, slowing down in life is a good advice. Chew and taste the food, exercice, take the time to read, stop to talk to your kids, etc. But all lifes happen in a context. The context is not the same when you have a shitty underpaid job with heavy commute in terrible conditions and 2 kids to drive to school, or, if you are like me, in the sunny south of france driving your cool-ass motorbike. Yeah I take my time, there. But I guaranty you, when I'm in the US traffic, I really don't want to take my time.
