Slow living is a lifestyle that encourages a slower approach to aspects of everyday life,[1] including completing tasks at a leisurely pace.[2] The origins of this lifestyle are linked to the Italianslow food movement, which emphasisedtraditional food production techniques in response to the emerging popularity offast food during the 1980s and 1990s. The lifestyle and movement were heavily influenced byCarlo Petrini, who founded the organization Slow Food in 1986. The organisation continues to promote local, traditional, and high-quality food. The slow living lifestyle encompasses a wide variety of sub-categories, such as slow money and slow cities,[3] which are proposed as solutions to the negative environmental consequences ofcapitalism andconsumerism in alignment with the aims of thegreen movement.
The slow living movement also emphasizes that a fast-paced way of living is chaotic. In contrast, a slower pace encourages enjoyment of life, a deeper appreciation of sensory experiences, and the ability to live in the present moment. However, slow living does not prevent the adoption of certain technologies, such asmobile phones, theInternet, and access togoods and services.[4][5] For example, #SlowLiving has been used more than six million times onInstagram.[6]
