"All Things Considered" had a nice interview about slowing down, on Sunday, 1 Jan. 2006.

praising a book by Carl Honore, In Praise of Slow(ness), http://www.inpraiseofslow.com/ness/
as explained at that site, the book is titled In Praise of Slowness for USA and In Praise of Slow elsewhere.
Note that this movement (dubbed the Slow Movement) is not anti-technology; just asking us to become more reflective, segmenting the speediness of technology into routines where it genuinely helps us and leaves us free to be slow for really important things.

Take your time
The expression "Take your time" was suggested by Ludwig Wittgenstein as an appropriate greeting between philosophers.
I like the interesting stories about Wittgenstein and others collected at Peter Cave's "Pause for Thought"
