The Monocle Book of Gentle Living

Monocle has always been a champion of taking it slow. It has encouraged readers to dive into a lake and go for a run. To sleep well.

To eat food whose makers are proud of its provenance. In a shouty, jabbing-finger moment in history, it has done its bit to argue for a new modern etiquette to be generous with our time, hospitality and forgiveness. Now its editors and correspondents have brought all of this together in The Monocle Manifesto for a Gentler Life, a book that urges us all to slow down, reconnect, make good things and see nice places.
