Intensity is one of the great expectations of contemporary society. Monotony, automatism and existential platitudes must be avoided at all costs. To be successful, life must be ruled by constant excitement, variation and movement. In every aspect of life, we must go further, higher, faster and accomplish more in less time. Yet, we cannot live in a constant state of frenzy. The frenetic pace of social change, technological developments and the rhythm of life expose us to psychological pressure, the likes of which are truly unprecedented. Might it be time to make slowness desirable again? What if true intensity lay not in infinite acceleration, but in deceleration, which allows us to broaden and deepen our presence in reality, in others and in experience as a whole
