Thames & Hudsonin julkaisema The Monocle Book of Gentle Living on kirja hidastamisesta ja elämästä nauttimisesta. Brittiläisen lifestylelehti Monoclen toimittajatiimin kokoama teos sisältää muun muassa kuvitetun oppaan ystävällisyyteen, esittelyjä maailman onnellisimmista maista sekä tarinoita ihmisistä, jotka ovat hidastaneet tahtia. Runsaasti kuvitettu teos on englanninkielinen.

Monocle has always been a champion of taking it slow. It has encouraged readers to dive into a lake and go for a run. To sleep well. To eat food whose makers are proud of its provenance. In a shouty, jabbing-finger moment in history, it has done its bit to argue for a new modern etiquette to be generous with our time, hospitality and forgiveness. Now its editors and correspondents have brought all of this together in The Monocle Manifesto for a Gentler Life, a book that urges us all to slow down, reconnect, make good things and see nice places. And it also knows when to wear a cheeky smile.
