As we make our way back from summer break, we’ve stumbled upon an antidote to the hustle and bustle of business as usual. The Monocle Manifesto for a Gentler Life is a guide to slowing down, enjoying more, and being happy.
For the uninitiated, Monocle has championed the art of considered design and lifestyle from its beginning – and the handbook is a musing on this idea. A breath of fresh air in this polarized age, the book advocates for more kindness and indulgence towards ourselves, our fellow man, and nature – an approach to life we are inclined to agree with at Atelier Munro.
“The book is about trying a slower pace of life that's kinder to ourselves, those around us and the world. In a shouty, finger-jabbing moment in history, we've done our bit to argue for a new, considerate mindset and to be generous with our time, hospitality and forgiveness. Gently does it.”
- Monocle
The book asks us to unplug and to rethink our entire mindset. Essentially, helping us consider how to reconnect with ourselves and the wider world to lead a richer life. It offers guidance on how to pursue things you care about and discover extraordinary experiences along the way. A thought-provoking read for the morning commute and probably the gentle reminder we all need to continue cultivating joy beyond our holidays.
