Description

Wallace Chapman is on a mission. A mission to chill us all out. He's thought a lot about the syndrome of modern life and thinks he has a few answers. Ranging over subjects such as careers, technology, health, communication, food, and relationships, and employing a captivating mix of pop psychology, science, philosophy and humour, Chapman distils the many mixed messages we each receive on a daily basis into a self-help book that's not actually a self-help book. For anyone feeling he ravages of time-poorness, Don't Just Do Something, Sit There is an amusing and insightful take on considering life as we live it. A better life won't happen overnight and if it does, seek help. Because slow living takes time.
