In Praise of Slowness by Carl Honoré5/10/2023 ![]() His mission to help the others – and himself – live slowly started here. When we came back, Carl brought a definite conclusion – are we who define our pace and maybe we’re not there yet. Then I realized it was insane, that I was running through my life instead of living it”.Īt that time, the restlessness caused by an addiction to an increased pace – his and everyone’s – took him on an investigation field trip around the world. I remember having heard about a book called “One-Minute Bedtime Stories” and thinking it was a great idea. “I used to read “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” in a hurry: instead of being seven dwarfs, there were only three. And it was only when he started to read bedtime stories to his kid in a rush – without really being there – that the true need for slowing down popped up. This hurried daily routine made him question his life’s pace. Besides traveling the world when working, every time he comes back home, he returns to a city that doesn’t stop. ![]() We can say that his life has – or had – everything but calmness. In Praise of Slow is one of his biggest works, a book that introduces us to his area of expertise – the Slow Movement. ![]() He is a journalist, an author and has already written several bestsellers which gave him his worldwide recognition. Carl Honoré is Canadian, but was born in green Scotland and lives in the frenetic pace of London. ![]()
