Worth reading: recoil from the everyday crazy pace

Have you read the "No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency Series" by Alexander McCall Smith? I have read a few of the books and recently was enjoying again the "Blue Shoes and Happiness" book. 

The life in Botswana follows a different rhythm - this of self-respect and respect to everyone else. One can practice this conduct only if adopting a slower pace of life. 

Here is a sentence from the book. The major character, Mma Ramotswe, remembers her father and shares her hope that one day, when her life ends, she would be reunited with him. About this hope, she thought, "...but we surely had to hope, and a life without hope of any sort was no life: it was a sky without stars, a landscape of sorrow and emptiness".
