Manage episode 386317797 series 3456245
“Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.” - Mae West
Do you feel like you're constantly running on the treadmill of life? Not sure how to pause and stop feeling like you always have to be doing something? Anyone else just tired…all the time?
In this ultra-modern world, we are encouraged to be busy, juggle tasks, and be as productive as humanly possible. It's not always easy to slow down when everyone around you is going fast, but it turns out that slowing down is exactly what we need to live longer, richer, and more productive lives. It's high time to embrace the slow revolution.
The Slow Movement, often referred to as the "slow living" movement, is a cultural and social phenomenon that emerged in response to the fast-paced, consumer-driven, and technology-saturated aspects of modern life. It encourages a more mindful and deliberate approach to various aspects of life, including food, work, and leisure.
Today's guest is Carl Honoré, a global keynote speaker (TED twice), age disruptor, the “Voice of the Slow Movement,” bestselling author (36 languages), and an expert on multigenerational working. He’s got some goodness to share with you that can help you leave your hectic and stressful life in the rearview mirror…or at least get you closer!
Join us as we delve into The Power of Slow. Tune in and get your slow fix!
"Slowness is a superpower in a fast world."
