258: Embracing the Slow Movement and Enjoying a Richer Retirement with Carl Honoré

Today, I’m talking to Carl Honoré. Carl has been called the “global guru on the Slow Movement” by The Globe and Mail. He’s the international bestselling author of Bolder and In Praise of Slow, and also presented a TED Talk called “In praise of slowness” that has earned over 3 million views.

After reading an excerpt from one of Carl’s books from a previous episode of our Weekend Reading series, the wheels started spinning, but in a good way. And after doing some more research, I fell in love with his TED Talk and the story about speed-reading to his son–something I’ve certainly been guilty of–and I knew that I had to reach out to him so he could share the incredibly unique insights he has to offer with our audience.

In this episode, Carl and I discuss the slow movement and how it’s grown over the last 15 years, how to tell where speed might be hindering your performance or relationships, and how you can reconnect with your inner tortoise at any stage of life–including retirement.
