Is your life an endless rush from one thing to the next?
That was certainly the case for Carl Honoré, my guest on today’s podcast. He is the author of the phenomenally successful book In Praise of Slow.
Carl explains his journey to the slow movement, triggered by an epiphany of recognising the need to slow down and reconnect with the art of living in the moment when he found himself trying to rush the bedtime stories to his son.
He discusses how our fast-paced culture permeates all aspects of life, from the boardroom to the bedroom. And he shares examples of absurd manifestations of the go-faster culture, such as speed yoga and drive-through funerals!
The executives I work with are incredibly busy and have large and important portfolios of work that they’re managing. They're also experiencing an epidemic of burnout. The idea of slowing down is anathema to many executives.
But as Carl explains, slowing down is not just about reducing speed but about being present and doing things well. It’s also about knowing when speed is important, and when giving yourself a bit more space around your work would enhance it immeasurably.

Carl Honoré is an award-winning writer, broadcaster and two-time TED speaker.
The Wall Street Journal hailed him as “an in-demand spokesman on slowness.” CBC Sunday Edition called him “the world’s leading evangelist for the Slow Movement.” His bestselling books have been published in 36 languages. While researching his first book, In Praise of Slow, Carl got slapped with a speeding ticket.
