A short-form pamphlet published by New Perennials Publishing and written by Middlebury College student Kylie King on the importance of slowing down and taking more time with what King calls long-form content, and less time with social media sites that thrive on shortness and speed. As King explains, "deep understanding and insight are a result of being fully absorbed by what you are learning and opening yourself up to it. Spending an extended amount of time with one topic opens one to the possibility of being changed. Therefore, slowing down and being intentional about where you direct your attention is necessary for change in self and society."
