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. You know the dilemma: when there already aren’t enough hours in the day, how can slowing down be the solution?
On The Power of Slow, bestselling author Carl Honoré shows you how to lead a richer, more rewarding life by joining the “slow revolution” that is sweeping across the globe. Honoré traced the myriad ways the slow revolution is taking hold across the United States and beyond, from corporate culture to medicine to city planning. Now, he invites you to experience the power of slow firsthand as you “put on the brakes” in order to learn:
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, The Power of Slow gives you the confidence and tools finally to break free from the cult of speed.

I wanted to like this book but I couldn't get over the intensity of his voice. Carl is talking about slowing down but his voice is rather fast and has an anxious tone. I only made it throughout the first tape.
Listening to this literally changed my life. I got it as a birthday present from my husband (think there was a hint there!) and it lay around in our basement for months. Then one day I just felt like trying it out. I immediately was hooked. Honore opened my eyes to how I was rushing through everything in my life. I loved all his practical advice for slowing down. I also really liked his humor and speaking style. Thanks to Honore I have reconnected with my inner tortoise (thats his phrase, not mine!). If you are stuck in fast-forward like I was, take the time to listen to these CDs. Five stars from me!
Practical information for a fuller life!
Slow is fine if you're going too fast, but intensity, a necessity, is ignored.
The tension in the presenters voice conflicted with the message he was giveing, otherwise, a good program.
