From Ann Handley, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Everybody Writes, comes a smart, timely, clear-eyed guide to knowing when to speed up, when to slow down, and when the shortcut costs more than it saves.

You already know how to go fast. What nobody taught you is when not to.

In ASAP: As SLOW As Possible, Ann Handley rebels against the false urgency baked into modern work and life--and shows you how to recognize Slowments: the moments when slowing down is not weakness, hesitation, or delay. It's the smarter move.

Because when everyone has access to the same shortcuts, the real edge is knowing when not to take them.

With research, brain science, vivid storytelling, and Handley's signature wit, ASAP: As SLOW As Possible reveals the hidden speed traps that weaken our judgment, creativity, and original thinking--especially in an age when AI makes the fastest path feel like the smartest one--and gives you a practical way to know when speed is serving you and when it's taking you farther from what matters.

You'll discover:

  • The Hasty Progress Illusion--why motion can feel like mastery, even when nothing lasting is taking hold
  • The ASAP Matrix--how to know exactly when to autopilot, when to pause, and when a moment deserves more of you
  • The six Slowments in life and in work--the pivotal moments when slowing down changes what happens next
  • How to protect your judgment in a world eager to outsource it
  • When choosing analog leads to sharper ideas, wiser decisions, more creative approaches, stronger relationships, and meaningful work
  • How to stop confusing speed with progress--and start choosing the pace the moment actually requires
