Sometimes You Should Be Late
The quiet rebellion of slowing down in a world obsessed with speed.
"This book reminds us that time's real value lies in the human moments we refuse to rush."
"Alex Snider shows how a healthier relationship with time can help us live richer, more meaningful lives."
Hi, I'm Alex!
Our culture treats speed as a virtue, "slothful" as a vice, but at what cost?
If you're feeling that all the rushing and optimizing can miss the point, this space is for you. My work invites us to slow down — not for its own sake, but to see ourselves and others more clearly. To discern when to embrace our inner rabbit, and when to become "slothfilled."
Curious about your own relationship with time?
Are you driven by the desire to achieve, to connect, to breathe — or something else?
Take the quizWhy Slow Mindfulness? Because in this world, even the way we approach slowing down is…fast.
Slow Mindfulness isn't about retreating from life. It’s about coming into full relationship with it, goofy dogs and all.

I'm hitting the road to discuss my new book, Sometimes You Should Be Late, in independent bookstores across the country. I'd love to see you there!
