Finding Balance and Fulfillment Beyond the Cult of Speed

In a world where time is money, faster is better, and "if you snooze you lose," millions of people are doing the unthinkable; they're slowing down. What's more amazing, they're healthier, happier, and excelling at both work and play. On this set, bestselling author Carl Honore shows you how to lead a richer, more rewarding life by joining the "Slow revolution" that is sweeping across the globe.
You know the dilemma: when there already aren't enough hours in the day, how can slowing down be the solution? Carl Honore traced the myriad ways the Slow revolution is taking hold across the US and beyond, from corporate culture to medicine to city planning. Now, he invites you to experience the power of Slow first-hand as you "put on the brakes" to learn:

* The Velocity Audit: a three-step process for pinpointing the areas in your life where you may need to slow down- and getting past the deep-seated objections that often arise
* Finding "the right speed" for any job to make time your ally, not your enemy
* Invoke your Inner Tortoise- a powerful mind-body method for assessing an "oasis of calm" whenever you need it

The Slow philosophy is about giving each task the time and focus that it deserves so that you do it better and enjoy it more. Packed with guided exercises for staying productive while slowing down the way you eat, email, work out, and more, it gives you the confidence and tools finally to break free from the cult of speed.
