{"product_id":"9781608682409","title":"New Slow City: Living Simply in the World's Fastest City","description":"Burned-out after years of doing development work around the world, William Powers spent a season in a 12-foot-by-12-foot cabin off the grid in North Carolina, as recounted in his award-winning memoir Twelve by Twelve. Could he live a similarly minimalist life in the heart of New York City? To find out, Powers and his wife jettisoned 80 percent of their stuff, left their 2,000-square-foot Queens townhouse, and moved into a 350-square-foot “micro-apartment” in Greenwich Village. Downshifting to a two-day workweek, Powers explores the viability of Slow Food and Slow Money, technology fasts and urban sanctuaries. Discovering a colorful cast of New Yorkers attempting to resist the culture of Total Work, Powers offers an inspiring exploration for anyone trying to make urban life more people- and planet-friendly.","brand":"New World Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130339311856,"sku":"9781608682409","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781608682409_p0.jpg?v=1763833056","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781608682409","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
