Даунши́фтинг (англ. downshifting, переключение автомобиля на более низкую передачу, а также замедление или ослабление какого-либо процесса) — термин, обозначающий человеческую философию «жизни ради себя», «отказа от чужих целей»[источник не указан 260 дней]. Родственен понятиям «simple living» (с англ образ жизни») и «опрощение». Люди, причисляющие себя к дауншифтерам, склонны отказываться от стремления к пропагандируемым общепринятым благам (постоянному увеличению материального капитала, карьерному росту и т.д.), ориентируясь на «жизнь ради себя».
Наибольшее развитие дауншифтинг получил в США и Австралии.[источник не указан 191 день]

Объяснение:
Foreigners often laugh at the British. They say "In Britain you get chips with everything!" But even the British don’t eat chips with their meals. To prove that, we decided to let you read a letter from the chief cook at Daphne’s in London.
—To my foreign friends,
I am always both amused and annoyed when I hear foreign people criticize British food. "It’s unimaginative," they say. "It’s boring, it’s tasteless, and it’s chips with everything and totally overcooked vegetables."
I have a theory about British cooking, and I was interested to read that several famous cookery writers agree with me. My theory is this. Our basic ingredients, when fresh, are so full of flavor that we haven’t had to invent sauces and complex recipes to disguise their natural taste. What can compare with fresh peas or new potatoes just boiled (not over boiled) and served with butter? Why drown spring lamb a wine or cream or yoghurt and spices, when with just one or two herbs it is absolutely delicious?
