São Paulo book launch explores themes of slow living

During a visit to São Paulo for a book launch at the International Book Biennial, reflections were shared regarding the contrast between modern human life and the natural pace of certain species.

Observations made at the São Paulo Aquarium, specifically regarding the Greenland shark, highlighted how the animal's slow metabolism and pace allow it to live up to 500 years. This serves as a metaphor for the constant pressure of modern society, where technology and productivity demands drive a continuous need for speed, often turning rest into merely an interval between tasks.
