the AGe of Speed – Learning to thrive in a More-Faster-Now World
A current TV commercial for an insurance company says "Life comes at you fast," as it shows some unimagined disaster striking.
Dallas author Vince Poscente thinks it's time to harness that full-throttle life force so that it works for and not against us.
His book The Age of Speed: Learning to Thrive in a More-Faster-Now World became a business best-seller because he hit a raw nerve: Most of us are in a dysfunctional relationship with our lifestyles.
We love our ability to live in the fast lane; we just wish things would slow down so we could enjoy it more.
We crave speed but feel chained by it.
Mr. Poscente believes we can turn this addictive dope of the new millennium into a helpful drug for fulfillment in 2008. It's all in what we do with the time that speed can save us.
