Neither Carl nor I believe that busy and slow are mutually exclusive and it’s fascinating to talk to someone who so passionately advocates a slower way of life while living in a fast-paced city like London. It’s a really interesting look at the pressures we all live under in today’s hectic, results-driven society and how any one of us can adopt the idea of ‘good slow’ into our lives. In today’s conversation he and I dig in to what life was like for him and his family pre-slow and what steps he first took to create a slower, more mindful life. He is also a celebrated TED speaker, fast sports fiend, traveller, father and husband. Many people also tie the idea of slow to laziness, boredom or a lack of energy.īut in today’s episode of The Slow Home Podcast, I try to put some of those misconceptions to rest as I chat with Carl Honoré - world-renowned slow living advocate.Ĭarl is the author of three books including the international best-seller, In Praise of Slow. Slow living is so often equated with country life, an unhurried pace, fewer modern conveniences and less pressured work.
