In today’s conversation he and I dig in to what life was like for him and his family pre-slow and what steps he first took to create a slower, more mindful life. He is also a celebrated TED speaker, fast sports fiend, traveller, father and husband. Many people also tie the idea of slow to laziness, boredom or a lack of energy.īut in today’s episode of The Slow Home Podcast, I try to put some of those misconceptions to rest as I chat with Carl Honoré - world-renowned slow living advocate.Ĭarl is the author of three books including the international best-seller, In Praise of Slow.
As soon as I read it, I go back and update the entry.Slow living is so often equated with country life, an unhurried pace, fewer modern conveniences and less pressured work. I have not read it but I found it interesting. It is entitled Slow Down: Getting More out of Harvard by Doing Less. To finish I leave this document which is a letter from Harry Lewis to his Harvard students. Some of the topics he talks about with examples are: Regardless of whether it is more or less repetitive, I no longer know where the magician and where the proven facts. And this is where the book has broken, because seeing how it positions itself on this issue has made me distrust everything it says. It certainly occurs in the medicine section, where alternative therapies are encouraged as an option over medicine. If you want an entertaining essay take a look at The tyranny of communication scored by Ignacio Ramonet. These are all logical things, which perhaps we have never stopped to think about, but on which we all agree. But from here on he repeats it a thousand times around the different environments in which the book divides.
