The famous department store Selfridges has decided to help stressed Londoners to reconnect to themselves.
To do this, he organizes (among others) workshops to teach them how to peel potatoes. These courses, taken very seriously, are held in the basement of the store and are supervised by two professors, who are present to help the participants to hold their knife correctly or to peel finely without making too much mess.
"A meditative experience"
"This is the first time I peel a potato in my life. I really like. It is a meditative experience, " testified one of the trainees at the Guardian. "I completely lost the notion of time and forgot to look at my mails ... besides I could not," rejoiced another. (Mobile phones are obviously banned during "classes".)
For them, the experience seems conclusive. You know what you have left to do the next time you are on the brink of nervous breakdown.
