About the event

Please join us and author Alex Snider at 4:30pm on Saturday, August 1st, to gather and discuss his debut book Sometimes You Should Be Late with guest Pam Coleman




 

About the Book:


Sometimes You Should Be Late is a book about rethinking our relationship with time in a world obsessed with speed. It’s not about slowing down for its own sake, but about moving at a pace that helps us build lives and relationships guided more by our values than the clock. "



About the Event:


"The Sometimes You Should Be Late book tour is coming to Santa Fe and Garcia Street Books, and the sloth on the cover would be delighted if you joined us. This won’t be a traditional book talk. Instead, we’ll explore our relationship with time in a world that often tells us faster is better. Through stories from the book and conversation as a community and in small groups, we’ll consider what becomes possible when we make a little more room for presence, connection, and intention. Whether you’re a rabbit, a sloth, or a little bit of both, we’d love to see you there. I’m also excited to be joined by Pam Coleman, an executive coach and strategic advisor who helps leaders and organizations across sectors get clear about their mission and values, then take meaningful action aligned with them."


-Alex Snider, Author of Sometimes You Should Be Late
