At the beginning of Slowing Down to the Speed of Life: How To Create a Peaceful, Simpler Life, Richard Carlson lists six reasons why it is critical to slow down:
1. Reduction of stress
2. Improved physical health
3. More present, intimate, and loving relationships
4. Heightened sensory awareness and enjoyment of the natural beauty around us
5. Greater peace of mind and serenity
6. Dramatically improved ability to be productive and creative and to stay focused

If you want a Christian perspective on slowing down (at least once a week), try 24/6: A Prescription for a Healthier, Happier Life by Dr. Matthew Sleeth.
Another Christian book with a more biographical approach is Addicted to Busy: Recovery for the Rushed Soul by Pastor Brady Boyd.
