Sometimes You Should Be Late: Why Slowing Down Can Make You Happier, Healthier & More Present. With Alex Snider

Today we're exploring why our obsession with speed, productivity, and always being on time may actually be keeping us from living fully and meaningfully.

Our guest is Alex Snider, author of Sometimes You Should Be Late: The Quiet Rebellion of Slowing Down in a World Obsessed with Speed.. After a life-changing bike accident left him with a traumatic brain injury, Alex was forced to slow down—and what began as recovery evolved into a profound shift in how he understands mindfulness, our relationship to time, and the way we move through life.

In this conversation, we discuss the hidden costs of urgency and an urgency culture, how slowing down creates more compassion and better relationships, and why being emotionally present may matter more than being perfectly punctual.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by back-to-back meetings, endless to-do lists, or the pressure to optimize every minute, this episode offers a refreshing—and practical—new perspective.
