For the Overwhelmed & Overworked: Slow Life (슬로우 라이프) Book Meetup in Seoul

A book club leader from New York is bringing the club to Seoul while working at a law firm in the city.

The first meeting will focus on Robert Walser’s The Walk, a delightful short book that encourages readers to slow down and appreciate the small details in life. Walser’s engaging and thoughtful prose makes it memorable for many.

This selection is perfect for those who appreciate urban living, leisurely strolls, and the philosophy of mindfulness. The discussion is open to all, whether or not attendees have read every page; participation is welcomed for those who simply wish to listen or contribute their thoughts. The atmosphere promises to be relaxed and inclusive, allowing for a rich exchange of ideas on daily awareness, creativity amidst busy lifestyles, and self-discovery.

The organizer is fluent in English, French, Turkish, and German. The conversation will predominantly be in English, but contributions in other languages are encouraged, as long as translation assistance is available.

The gathering will take place on Saturday, May 10 at 15:00.
