Modern, Western life seems to be geared towards speed and efficiency.
Many of us are working longer hours and taking less time off. Shops are open for longer and everything is available at a simple click of a button, delivered the very next day. Everything is as convenient and fast as possible.
At the same time, burnout and mental health problems are becoming more and more common.
