One world, one life, one existenceKemal Sayar, PhD, invites us to escape from a world of relentless speed, and from being enslaved by a life that has lost its values. SLOW DOWN is a book of topical criticism, dealing with lack of communication in technology-focused lives, family dissolution, the loss of privacy, and the speed-centered life that the modern age demands. SLOW DOWN consists of chapters such as “Modern Unhappiness,” “The Family in Modern Times,” “Crises of Self and Society,” and “Easy is Good;” it is a book that not only criticizes the modern age, but also suggests solutions for these problems, and Sayar invites the reader to rediscover some long lost values. This book, which is like a manifesto for the promotion of new values relevant to a modern, capitalist society, ends with a call for a “hope campaign.” Those who feel forced to surrender to a speed-centered life and are not happy as a result are told: SLOW DOWN! You will pass through this life only once!
