Events

• Why is life speeding up, and what can we do about it? How can we find a more balanced life in the midst of these changes? These questions will be discussed at a public forum on "Information and the Quality of Life," 7 p.m. Monday, May 10, at Seattle's Town Hall, Eighth Avenue and Seneca Street. The forum will begin with an address by Bill McKibben, author of "Enough: Staying Human in an Engineered Age" (Henry Holt, $25). Information: www.ischool.washington.edu/iql/forum.

• Declare an e-mail- or TV-free day once a week, or try sauntering instead of power walking. People will discuss these and other ways to stop rushing and enjoy life at a workshop for the global "slow life movement," 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. July 13 at the Phinney Neighborhood Association, 6532 Phinney Ave. N., Room 6.
