This book pulls that thinking together from its editors and correspondents — part argument for a kinder modern etiquette, part practical guide to shifting gear, and never too earnest to crack a smile. It's for anyone feeling worn down by a shouty moment in history and looking for a better pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eInside you'll find essays from leading writers and thinkers, profiles of the world's happiest and least lonely nations, and a tour of the compact cities where you can run a company and still be hiking by 5pm. There's guidance on building a home that's good for your family, the businesses charting a better course, a celebration of locally made food (with a recipe or two), and the objects worth owning for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eA Monocle-made guide to living slower and better\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eEssays from leading thinkers on what we gain by shifting gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eProfiles of the happiest — and least lonely — nations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOn homes, food, businesses and cities that get the balance right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAn illustrated guide to being nice (social-media rants included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49946696941811,"sku":"Monocle-Book","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2407\/2865\/files\/06f4dbc1245a11c34b938d48aa1f3137c568244b159f9f9555b2446b654f4cb5.jpg?v=1784626895","url":"https:\/\/blackandbeech.com\/en-us\/products\/the-monocle-book-of-gentle-living","provider":"Black \u0026 Beech","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
