"It is hard to say exactly why such a phrase from a bygone decade would have so much appeal and resonance now"

Speaking for myself who immediately thought "I need that hanging over my desk at work," I think any reminder to relax or slow down helps in society. I have to tell myself that about 10-15 times a day. The historical background makes it even that much more interesting. Anyone read the book by any chance?

I've not read the book but my wife and I have been talking about getting some more artwork for the home and I think this would be perfect to hang in our home office. After watching it, I immediately sent her the link and asked, "what do you think, for the office wall"? I love the history behind it. Also, I would love to visit that book shop, sit and have some tea in one of the original waiting rooms, while reading.
