Values of Slow Living Movement
Cultural Creatives Constitute the Core of the Slow Living MovementAOC Health
No one believes that ‘slow’ will become any kind of European-inspired, major mantra in America, but the economic meltdown will clearly bring more adherents into the philosophical fold. Adherents argue that instead of believing that ‘speed wins’ at all costs, we must find the right speed of our individual lives.
In the case of investing, Brookline-based Slow Money Alliance seeks to “reconnect investors to that in which they are investing and to the places in which they live.’’ Compare this approach to Modern commodies trading, in which a single barrel of oil was traded on average 27 times, in recent years. Was there any actually value-added benefit for a barrel of oil traded so often? None whatsoever.
The argument that the current global meltdown was created by mindless folks stuck in a fast-forward, Roadrunner-mentality continues to gain traction. At the same time, history has never slowed down voluntarily. In America, slow is lazy, for slckers or — worse yet — for stupid people only. Slow is unAmerican.

NEW AOC’s Lisa Brown’s Life Makeover
Lisa’s Slow Living Life Makeover Begins in Holland, MichiganAOC Health
Welcome to Holland, Michigan, USA! We (Lisa and husband Coley) have finally landed in our new place after making a swift decision to change our lives. This choice took us from a 3-acre peaceful country home centered deeply in distressed eastern Michigan to a downtown loft in a mid-sized coastal community on the west coast of the state. A distance of 162 miles seems a lifetime away after less than a month of settling into our new digs.
We can now boast of living in the second happiest city in America, according to a Gallup-Healthways Well-being Index poll released last February.
Considering Michigan being one of the most economically embattled states with double digit unemployment levels, this may seem like an anomaly in the ranking of metropolitan areas throughout the US.
