In Praise of Slow
Book • 2004
In this book, Carl Honoré examines the global trend towards slowing down and chronicles the emergence of the Slow Movement.
He argues that our obsession with speed has led to a decline in quality, well-being, and fulfillment.
Honoré takes readers on a journey through various aspects of the Slow Movement, from slow food and slow work to slow parenting and slow exercise, highlighting the benefits of doing things at the right speed rather than rushing through life.
The book is both a personal account of Honoré's own journey to slow down and a well-researched investigation into the cultural and societal implications of slowing down.
