Why does modern technology promise efficiency, but leave us constantly feeling pressed for time? Anthropologist Kathryn Bouskill explores the paradoxes of living in a fast-paced society and explains why we need to reconsider the importance of slowing down in a world that demands go, go, go.

Kathryn (Casey) Bouskill asks, “Is a faster world better? Safer?” An anthropologist who studies technology and health, Kathryn acknowledges that the faster life seems to get, the less our brains– and society– are able to keep up. She shares that culture and rituals can help us cope and set the right pace for our health and wellbeing.
