Rich in time is not the idler. It is not the relaxed person, the café regular, the one who stirs the freddo with the straw slowly and lazily watching the passersby. It is not the youngster who spends all day sending and reading misspelled SMS. It is not the passive TV viewer who channel surfs trying to figure out if what they are watching are scenes from life, from a game show, from reality TV, or just a tasteless prank. It is not the driver stuck in traffic who bought their car in installments to go to work with stops, with patience of Job, and an average speed lower than that of a bicycle. But do all these things change in Greece? Yes, they change, but not without effort. A change in mentality is needed. (. . .) [Excerpt from the preface text]
