The UAMS Mindfulness Program is thrilled to announce that our Director and Co-Founder, Dr. Pele Yu, will be joining author Alex Snider for a special evening at WordsWorth Books to discuss Snider’s new release, Sometimes You Should Be Late: The Quiet Rebellion of Slowing Down in a World Obsessed with Speed.
This won’t be a traditional book talk. Instead, Alex and Dr. Yu will be co-facilitating an interactive community conversation exploring our relationship with time in a world that constantly pushes the narrative that “faster is better.” Drawing on stories from the book and Dr. Yu’s background in mindfulness and stress reduction, the discussion will center on what becomes possible when we intentionally make a little more room for presence and connection in our daily lives.

Whether you naturally move at your own pace or find yourself constantly racing against the clock, this conversation is for you.
