View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/carl-honore-praises-slowness
Journalist Carl Honoré believes the Western world’s emphasis on speed erodes health, productivity and quality of life. But there’s a backlash brewing, as everyday people start putting the brakes on their all-too-modern lives. Honoré is best known for his advocacy of the Slow Movement. His book “In Praise of Slowness” dissects our speed-obsessed society and celebrates those who have gotten in touch with their “inner tortoise.”
Talk by Carl Honore.
