EP121: Carl Honoré: The Voice of the Global Slow Movement Talks about Slow Living & Eating

Blue Soul CHATS™

We chat with Carl about his latest books on slowing down as well as one on aging, the stigma we have around aging and how we can talk ourselves into getting old sooner. As voice of the Global Slow Movement, his two main-stage TED Talks have racked up millions of views. His TED Course is entitled How to slow down.

Carl travels the world to deliver powerful keynotes that put time and tempo in a whole new light. Carl’s first book, In Praise of Slow, chronicles the global trend toward putting on the brakes in everything from work to food to parenting. His book Under Pressure explores how to raise and educate children in a fast world and was hailed by Time as a “gospel of the Slow Parenting movement.” And his book Slow Fix, explores how to tackle complex problems in every walk of life, from health and relationships to business and politics, without falling for superficial, short-term quick fixes.

Published in 35 languages, his books have landed on bestseller lists in many countries. In Praise of Slow was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week and the inaugural choice for the Huffington Post Book Club. It also featured in a British TV sitcom, Argentina’s version of Big Brother and a TV commercial for the Motorola tablet.
