Discover Your Inner Sloth: Mix in Its Leisurely Dynamic to Banish Stress

by Gillian Bridge

Life’s too precious simply to let it slip away. Can there be anyone who doesn’t believe that? Yet today there are so many demands upon our time and attention, that life as it ought to be lived has all but deserted us or been forgotten. This wise, gently humorous text introduces us to what is so special about the Sloths! They have the art of their living so beautifully tuned. Where self-help seldom works as expected, Sloth-help provides great personal strengthening and a stress-free lifestyle. Sloth-help fixes relationships, sex, appearance, work, ambition, success, worry and blame and everything else that shouldn’t disturb life.

The book was a quite a difficult read. The book cover is deceiving, and the content doesn’t provide a relaxed-reading; also, there’s very little (in fact only Chapter 2) that actually provides the reader with the knowledge on sloths. Some points were quite repetitive and over exaggerated; and at times I felt like the author had only one point (i.e. sloths are slow, thus, we should be slow) and she decided to write an entire book on it. I also felt that, the author was bringing her highly opinionated and biased views to the book, and was ‘using’ the sloth as a cover. However, there were a few good ‘food for thought’ kind of points in the book, that was worth giving a thought about.

I needed something to tell my mind slow down and stop worrying ! This book came on time.

The book revolved around one central idea and kept circling it the whole time that’s not really the problem ,the real issue is that it fails to offer anything new or even enough information to feel satisfying.
The book is relatively short, but honestly, the few ideas it presents didn’t need that many pages to begin with.
I found it hard to finish.
