Is your life an endless rush from one thing to the next?  That was certainly the case for Carl Honoré, my guest on today's podcast. He is the author of the phenomenally successful book In Praise of Slow.    Carl explains his journey to the slow movement, triggered by an epiphany of recognising the need to slow down and reconnect with the art of living in the moment when he found himself trying to rush the bedtime stories to his son.  He discusses how our fast-paced culture permeates all aspects of life, from the boardroom to the bedroom. And he shares examples of absurd manifestations of the go-faster culture, such as speed yoga and drive-through funerals!   The executives I work with are incredibly busy and have large and important portfolios of work that they're managing. They're also experiencing an epidemic of burnout. The idea of slowing down is anathema to many executives. But as Carl explains, slowing down is not just about reducing speed but about being present and doing things well. It's also about knowing when speed is important, and when giving yourself a bit more space around your work would enhance it immeasurably.   __Carl Honoré is an award-winning writer, broadcaster and two-time TED speaker.The Wall Street Journal hailed him as “an in-demand spokesman on slowness.” CBC Sunday Edition called him “the world's leading evangelist for the Slow Movement.” His bestselling books have been published in 36 languages. While researching his first book, In Praise of Slow, Carl got slapped with a speeding ticket.This link has all of his books, courses, etc in one place:https://linktr.ee/carlhonoreIn case you missed it, he made a thing recently for BBC Radio 4:https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0021hc4

For episode number one hundred and fifty, I proudly bring you this important and thoughtful conversation with Journalist Carl Honoré. Honoré is the leading voice of the global Slow Movement. We recently spent some time at Los Sagrados Horse Sanctuary in Pescadero discussing his bestselling book "In Praise of Slowness." In his books, lectures, and TED Talks, Honoré advocates embracing one's inner tortoise and slowing down. He criticizes the Western world's obsession with speed and promotes a more deliberate, unhurried approach to life. Honoré not only explores the negative impacts of our fast-paced society but also champions those who have adopted a slower, more mindful lifestyle. In a world dominated by haste and diversion, Honoré underscores the importance of deceleration. He provides actionable strategies that empower individuals to not just survive, but thrive in a rapidly changing world, all while prioritizing their well-being and fostering meaningful connections.

It has been very interesting for me to come into the US and to see the focus here on productivity. It very much is a cultural perspective of showing value through productivity. You can see it a lot in the types of non-fiction books that are very popular: the four hour work week, deep work, the seven habits of highly effective people.Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that productivity is bad. I love being able to get the most out of my time, and I can see the benefits to companies, businesses and society at large. What I am saying is that there needs to be a harmony between the focus on productivity and the ability to be okay with not being productive.This contrast is best exemplified by the slow movement. A movement that is reactionary to the industrialisation / the globalisation of industries. It very famously started in Italy with the introduction of the first McDonald's restaurant. I'm sure it was already in people's minds before then.In order to find Harmony, it's a good idea to ask the question of “intentional convenience versus intentional inconvenience”. Where in your life would it be more beneficial for you to choose the less convenient route to meeting your needs? Perhaps a better way to phrase it would be “selective convenience”.There is a fort here as well as to what would you do if you won the lottery? Most people would find that they make their life as comfortable and convenient as possible. Losing out on opportunities to challenge themselves, opportunities to grow, opportunities to respond to difficulties in their lives. I don't know about you but I truly believe that this is something fundamental to the nature of being human.I hold a strong belief in the idea of controlled or selective inconvenience.What are your thoughts?Check out the SLOW CULTURE MOVEMENT hereShare this post with a friend

Eitan features the music of: The Doors, John Illsley, Jimmy Buffett, Hugo Westerdahl, and many more! Opening Music: MFSB (as always), the signature sound of East to West. Introduction by Eitan Battat: "I've mentioned in my last episode that I am slowing down. Yes, I am. Our chaotic world is stuck in ‘fast forward'. We're trying to cram so much into our day as Carrie Fischer and I'm quoting: “Even instant gratification takes too long”. Slowing down involves savoring the small moments, taking a deliberate pace in daily activities, and finding joy in the process rather than rushing toward the end goal. It's a mindful approach, emphasizing quality over speed. In his Ted Talk, Carl Honore' says: We used to dial and now we speed dial.We used walk and now we speed walk.We used to read and now we speed read as well as speed date. I'm reading Carl's book - the Slow Fix and I will share more thoughts, ideas, and nuggets from that book as you continue to listen to my program. So, I am truly discovering my inner tortoise. What does it mean daily? I'll tell you what it means. It means waking up earlier, so I have more time to eat my breakfast slowly sitting down and not standing. It means I may take a longer road to work. Not the longest. Just longer. It means I may not seek the shorter lane in the supermarket or on the road. Been there, done that! And please take me off the fast lane. So as always East to West program will have some ‘slow jams', music to shift down and slow your pace so you can truly enjoy the music, be mindful and nurture your soul."

“Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.” - Mae WestDo you feel like you're constantly running on the treadmill of life? Not sure how to pause and stop feeling like you always have to be doing something? Anyone else just tired…all the time?In this ultra-modern world, we are encouraged to be busy, juggle tasks, and be as productive as humanly possible. It's not always easy to slow down when everyone around you is going fast, but it turns out that slowing down is exactly what we need to live longer, richer, and more productive lives. It's high time to embrace the slow revolution.The Slow Movement, often referred to as the "slow living" movement, is a cultural and social phenomenon that emerged in response to the fast-paced, consumer-driven, and technology-saturated aspects of modern life. It encourages a more mindful and deliberate approach to various aspects of life, including food, work, and leisure.Today's guest is Carl Honoré, a global keynote speaker (TED twice), age disruptor, the “Voice of the Slow Movement,” bestselling author (36 languages), and an expert on multigenerational working.

For some reason, this summer feels busier than our regular school year. Our teen and pre-teen kids are involved in camps, sports, studying for SATs, and thinking about college. When I was their age, I was happen to hang with my friends and maybe get a part-time job scooping ice cream. Nowadays, teens are looking for internships to put on college resumes. What happened to summer? What happened to slowing down?We invited Carl Honoré, an international bestselling author, broadcaster and the voice of the Slow Movement to help us this week on the podcast. His two main-stage TED Talks have racked up millions of views, and his counter-intuitive message is this: To thrive in a fast world, you have to slow down.

Carl Honoré is a bestselling author, broadcaster and the voice of the Slow Movement. His two main-stage TED Talks have been viewed millions of times. His TED Course is entitled How to slow down. Carl travels the world to deliver powerful keynotes that put time and tempo in a whole new light. His counter-intuitive message is simple but game-changing: To thrive in a fast world, you have to slow down.  Carl's first book, In Praise of Slow, chronicles the global trend toward putting on the brakes in everything from work to food to parenting. The Financial Times said it is “to the Slow Movement what Das Kapital is to communism.” Carl's second book, Under Pressure explores how to raise and educate children in a fast world and was hailed by Time as a “gospel of the Slow Parenting movement.”  Carl's third book, The Slow Fix, explores how to tackle complex problems in every walk of life, from health and relationships to business and politics, without falling for superficial, short-term quick fixes. Carl's latest book, Bolder: Making The Most Of Our Longer Lives, explores ageing – how we can do it better and feel better about doing it. It's a spirited manifesto against ageism. Carl recently published his first children's book: It's The Journey, Not The Destination. Published in 35 languages, his books have landed on bestseller lists in many countries. In Praise of Slow was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week and the inaugural choice for the Huffington Post Book Club. It also featured in a British TV sitcom, Argentina's version of Big Brother and a TV commercial for the Motorola tablet. Under Pressure was shortlisted for the Writers' Trust Award, the top prize for non-fiction in Canada. Bolder was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week and a Reader's Digest (UK) Book of the Month. Carl featured in a series for BBC Radio 4 called The Slow Coach in which he helped frazzled, over-scheduled people slow down. He presented a television show called Frantic Family Rescue on Australia's ABC 1. He also spent three years on the Board of Trustees of Hewitt School in New York City.  Carl is a father of two and lives in London. While researching his first book on slowness, he was slapped with a speeding ticket.

In the world of investing, we keep looking for an edge; everyone wants to be smarter, and faster, I often say I'm probably more patient than most. My guest today might know of a secret edge worth sharing.   Carl Honoré is a bestselling author, broadcaster and the voice of the Slow Movement. His two main-stage TED Talks have racked up millions of views. His TED Course is entitled How to slow down. Carl travels the world to deliver powerful keynotes that put time and tempo in a whole new light. His counter-intuitive message is simple but game-changing: To thrive in a fast world, you have to slow down. Carl's first book, In Praise of Slow, chronicles the global trend toward putting on the brakes in everything from work to food to parenting.   Carl's second book, Under Pressure explores how to raise and educate children in a fast world and was hailed by Time as a “gospel of the Slow Parenting movement.” Carl's third book, The Slow Fix, explores how to tackle complex problems in every walk of life, from health and relationships to business and politics, without falling for superficial, short-term quick fixes. Carl's latest book, Bolder: Making The Most Of Our Longer Lives, explores ageing – how we can do it better and feel better about doing it. It's a spirited manifesto against ageism. We talked about the following ideas: 1.      Speed is not always the best – that idea that it's the fittest that survive, not the fastest! 2.      The biggest challenge to the slow movement is alleged price, the sacrifice we need to pay if we dare to slow down – Carl shares his perspective. 3.      Boredom is a modern invention. 4.      A contradiction, and contrast of sorts, where we could both praise speed and slowness. How do we strike a balance between the fast and slow?  5.      Being time rich and being time poor, how do become time rich in this ever-faster world we live in?  6.      The curiosity in slowness is growing also in the industry that is speeding us up – tech industry! 7.      We touch on remote work, and how it's changing the work, life, and speed dynamic. 8.      Leisure is not more than escape from work. 9.      Demographics, and aging, and Carl's other book - Bolder 10. Stay tuned until the end where we talk about how we can get started on this path to slowness, how kids are growing up under lots of pressure. Carl Honore -- Books. Carl's - Website.

It entitles you to sit there as long as you want… that means of course, that things can develop and you can sit there and watch people, and sit there and read your novel or sit there and write your novel. It's such a luxury in today's world.” Arne Gast “ I see that my (S) curve is flattening when i become at ease; when I feel like I got this, I like this, that's the moment the inner voice starts saying… hmm.. let's do another near-death experience, start anew somewhere.” Satish Kumar “Whatever you see… is divine, is sacred. There is no separation between humans and nature and no separation between God and nature. This is the beauty of Indian culture: everything is God, everything is divine, everything is nature. This is what I learned from my Mother.” Carl Honoré “In the blink of an eye, I went from goal-scorer to Grandad… age took on this terrible power… defining and limiting me. I just thought this can't be right. Why was I feeling a door was being slammed in my face just because of the numbers on my birth certificate?” Holly Cullen-Davies “Singing is proven to release endorphins in the same way as exercise is and it's proven to release more endorphins when you do it with other people and I just see these people light up.” Links Libby DeLana Web: https://libbydelana.com/ Twitter: @parkhere Instagram: @parkhere This Morning Walk: https://www.thismorningwalk.com/ Tom Morley Website: https://tommorley.com/ Twitter: @TomMorley Instagram: _tommorley_ Philipp Blom Blomcast: https://blomcast.buzzsprout.com/ Website: https://philipp-blom.eu/cms/en/ Arne Gast Website: https://aberkyn.com/humans/arne-gast/ Satish Kumar Website: https://www.resurgence.org/satish-kumar/ Carl Honore Instagram: @carlhonore Instagram: @carlhonore Twitter: @carlhonore YouTube:@carlhonore Facebook: @carlhonore and @carlhonorepage LinkedIn: @carlhonore Pinterest: @carlhonore TED Talk 1: Slow TED Talk 2: Age TED Course: How to slow down Holly Cullen-Davies Web: https://www.concertsdontcosttheearth.org/ Web: http://www.hollycullendavies.com/ Instagram @daviesanddaughters Instagram @thulamamalondon David Pearl (Host) Web: https://www.davidpearl.net Web: https://wanderfulpodcast.com Twitter: @davidpearlhere Instagram: davidpearl_here Andrew Paine (Producer & Audio Engineer) Twitter: @ItPainesMe

Today on the podcast, I'm delighted to be talking to bestselling author, broadcaster, two-time TED speaker and voice of the Slow Movement, Carl Honoré.In this episode, Carl Honoré, author of "In Praise of Slow," shares his insights on the benefits of slowing down in every aspect of life. Our conversation centres around the slow movement, and how slowness can 'rehumanise' us in a culture that values speed above everything else. We also discuss the slow art movement and how museums and other cultural institutions can be more welcoming for visitors who want to take a slower approach to art. Main talking points:Carl Honoré's book "In Praise of Slow" and the impact it had on society and the slow movementHow the slow movement is not just about slowing down for its own sake, but about reclaiming our humanity in a culture that treats us like machines.How the slow movement fits into the larger cultural conversation about resisting the pressures of a culture that values speed and productivity above all elseHow the pandemic has affected our relationship with time and speed, and whether it has led to a greater appreciation for slowness.How slow art can be an antidote to the fast-paced culture we live inHow museums are finding ways to create slow environments and programmes to invite people to engage deeply with art.How blockbuster exhibitions (such as the Vermeer exhibition in the Rijksmuseum)and wall labels can help or hinder us in the experience we might have in a museum.The importance of building the muscle to observe, contemplate, and look deeply at art, especially in childrenFour ways we can all incorporate the principles of slow more fully into our own livesLinksEpisode Web PageDownload my new Slow Art Guide Download the resource - how to look at art (slowly)Support the ShowJoin the Slow Looking Club Community on FacebookCarl Honoré's website: Useful links www.carlhonore.infoCarl Honoré on Social Media:YouTube ChannelInstagramTwitterLinkedInTED Talk 'In Praise of Slow'

‘I think of each year of my life now, as a level… in a game.' Carl Honoré is a bestselling author, broadcaster and two-time TED speaker. He is also the voice of the Slow Movement. After working with street children in Brazil, Carl covered Europe and South America for the Economist, Observer, Miami Herald, Houston Chronicle, National Post (Canada), Time and other publications. His first book, In Praise of Slow, chronicles the global trend toward putting on the brakes in everything from work to food to parenting. The Financial Times said it is “to the Slow Movement what Das Kapital is to communism”. Carl's second book, Under Pressure explores how to raise and educate children in a fast world and was hailed by Time as a “gospel of the Slow Parenting movement”. Carl's third book, The Slow Fix, explores how to tackle complex problems in every walk of life, from health and relationships to business and politics, without falling for superficial, short-term quick fixes. His fourth book, Bolder: How To Age Better And Feel Better About Ageing, is a spirited manifesto against ageism. Carl recently published his first children's book, It's The Journey Not the Destination Published in 35 languages, Carl has landed on bestseller lists in many countries. In Praise of Slow was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week and the inaugural choice for the Huffington Post Book Club. It also featured in a British TV sitcom, Argentina's version of Big Brother and a TV commercial for the Motorola tablet. Under Pressure was shortlisted for the Writers' Trust Award, the top prize for non-fiction in Canada. Bolder was also a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week as well as a Reader's Digest (UK) Book of the Month. Carl featured in a series for BBC Radio 4 called The Slow Coach in which he helped frazzled, over-scheduled people slow down. He also presented a television show called Frantic Family Rescue on Australia's ABC 1. Carl lives in London. While researching his first book on slowness he was slapped with a speeding ticket. The Podcast was recorded live at The Kings Place London on the 27th February, 2023.

Ageing is seen, especially in our western cultures, it is seen as something to be ashamed of, to feel guilty of, to be disgusted by… to deny.” (Carl) “One of my bugbears is the phrase… showing my age. We should be showing off our age” (Carl) ‘When you don't know people of different ages, into that space rush all the grim toxic stereotypes about ageing. What they do find is that as soon as you start breaking down the silos and mixing people up that the stereotypes start to fall away.” (Carl) “Before writing ‘Bolder' I was a full card carrying member of the cult of youth. I never would have given my age. I would have low-balled it. I just felt awful about the whole idea of growing older and would have pushed it away. Now I feel genuinely at ease with it.” (Carl) “My metaphor for ageing is a gaming analogy. I think of each year as a level in a game. Right now I'm at level 55. I'm enjoying level 55 to the hilt. I'm gathering as much treasure as I can have. I'm enjoying all the adventures.” (Carl) “Every age has its pros and cons. Every age can be glorious and wonderful but only if we embrace it.” (Carl) Links Carl Honore (Guest) Instagram: @carlhonore Instagram: @carlhonore Twitter: @carlhonore YouTube:@carlhonore Facebook: @carlhonore and @carlhonorepage LinkedIn: @carlhonore Pinterest: @carlhonore TED Talk 1: Slow TED Talk 2: Age TED Course: How to slow down   David Pearl (Host) Web: https://www.davidpearl.net Twitter: @davidpearlhere Instagram: davidpearl_here   Andrew Paine (Producer & Audio Engineer) Twitter: @ItPainesMe   Anthony Ingle (Piano) Website: https://impropera.co.uk Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-ingle-3339a915/   Fiona Finsbury (Opera Singer & Actor) Instagram: @fionafinsbury   Genevieve Tawiah (Performance & Vocal Physiotherapist / Dancer) Instagram: @tawiahphysio

We continue our Reasons for Optimism series with Canadian author and journalist Carl Honoré. He says if we're to take one lesson from the pandemic, it should be to take our foot off the accelerator and enjoy a slower pace in life.

If many days end with you feeling depleted and wondering what just happened because of your dizzying pace, Carl Honoré has insights that will help you break free from this need for speed. Carl is the originator of the “Slow Movement,” a growing way of thinking about how we spend our time: Should we continue rushing through everything, or consciously decide which things we will slow down for so we can truly savor the moments? Due to Carl's work, there are growing communities around Slow Travel, Slow Food, Slow Schools, Slow Living, Slow Biking, Slow Money, and more.

Welcome to the newest Discover Strength Podcast Mini-Series where we will focus on 12 things we think are essential to getting better results from your workouts in less time. Join us as we go deeper on each topic in a format that's perfect for sharing and broadening your own knowledge. Thanks for joining us, and please enjoy this week's episode on the importance of slow movement speed in strength training.Strength training slowly is better for two main reasons:Better ResultsReduce InjuriesSlow movement speed in strength training is integral because it forces our muscles to recruit more muscle fibers (because momentum is not helping). The more muscle fibers that are recruited, the more muscle increase there will be.Additionally, Slow movement speed is safer as it reduces the forces imposed on the joints and connective tissue. Even a light weight, lifted fast, can impose high force on our joints. By keeping force low, and speed slow, we significantly reduce the risk of injury.Note: there is a difference between exercise and sport. Sport includes inherent fast movements that may lead to injury. A baseball pitcher would not be surprised if they suffered from a shoulder injury, because of the nature of movement in sports. David talks more about this in the episode:“Everything we're doing in the weight room, everything you're doing for exercise (we've talked about this before), I to improve your physical function, and so you should never get hurt. We should avoid those rapid movements that you might see in sports that are inherently more dangerous and you're more likely to get injured with.”Going slow generally means we can't lift as much weight and “demonstrate” our strength. This means we may need to sacrifice our ego and focus more on developing or stimulating rather than demonstrating.Listen to our newest podcast episode today, and send it to a friend you think would benefit from this information as well!If you or someone you know is interested in trying out a FREE Discover Strength Introductory workout, please send them our way!Send any inquiries HERE to get scheduled for a FREE Introductory Session today to take the first step towards getting your life back.

In Spring 2022, Colette spoke with a variety of experts in the Aging in Place Movement as part of CARP's Moving Seniors Safely Week.

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. You can find his book, In Praise of Slow, wherever books are sold.

His counter-intuitive message is simple but game-changing: to thrive in a fast world, you have to slow down.    Carl has written four books: ‘In Praise of Slow', ‘Under Pressure', ‘The Slow Fix', and ‘Bolder: Making the Most Of Our Longer Lives'. He lives in London but is originally from Canada. He is also an advisor to Jack Media and has presented on a variety of television series.

Carl Honroé, the godfather of the slow movement, discussed slowing down in a way that brings home to us just how mindlessly we have been living and how deeply it can impact our health, happiness, and wellbeing. The hustle culture will have us believe that happiness hinges on success and competition, purpose means pursuit of social accolades, and living your passion necessitates late nights and a relentless pace - we question all that and more in this episode. Slow living gives us the space to examine our priorities and what our 'happy' really looks like. We learn about helping our kids grow up with better values, normalise boredom for their benefit, and encourage them to prioritise their wellbeing and cultivate a value system that supports healthy living. I especially appreciated the narrative that Carl creates around the benefits of slowing down so that instead of looking at it as something that can potentially derail our professional or social growth plans as most of us do, we appreciate the benefits of slow living.  Carl Honroe is a bestselling author, broadcaster, and two-time TED speaker. He is also the voice of the Slow Movement. He has published four books, and his latest book, Bolder: How To Age Better And Feel Better About Aging, is a spirited manifesto against ageism.

Carl has been featured in a series for BBC Radio 4 called The Slow Coach in which he helped frazzled, over-scheduled people slow down. He also presented a television show called Frantic Family Rescue on Australia's ABC 1.  We discuss-  Why Carl chose to focus on the slow movement The downside of the pace we maintain and the benefits of more deliberate living  How do we talk ourselves past the fear of slowing down Bad Slow vs Good Slow Building better relationships with our digital devices Normalising boredom for the kids we are raising  As kids reach an age where they start to get competitive about their performance (academic, extra-curricular, and social), how do we help them cultivate the right value system and prioritise their health and wellbeing Rituals that can help + practical steps we can take to slow down a busy life (addressing people who have no other choice but to keep going all day long) Carl's favourite meditation/mindfulness practice Resources mentioned during the episode- Carl's Website- http://www.carlhonore.com/ Carl's Ted Talks and other content - https://linktr.ee/carlhonore Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mehra_krati For more information, visit - https://www.kratimehra.com/

Today, Debbie brings Carl Honoré on the show for a conversation about the slow movement and about aging and ageism.Carl has a book titled BOLDER: Making the Most of Our Longer Lives so Debbie's first question is whether he minds if she uses the word as the new name for the podcast.Carl says It's absolutely fine to use [B]OLDER. (Book titles can't be copyrighted.) As he puts it, the more fire power we can aim at the "ageist industrial complex," the better. We'll continue doing our part on this podcast.Carl is a bestselling author and speaker and is considered the voice of the Slow Movement as well as a spokesman for anti-ageism. His two TED Talks, on the Power of Slow and the Power of Aging have racked up millions of views.His first book, In Praise of Slowness, makes the point that slowing down is a better way to approach life. As he puts it: "to connect more, create more, focus more and achieve more." He's also written a book about slow parenting.Bolder, his more recent book, was inspired by an incident on the ice hockey rink when he realized, after scoring the winning goal, that he was the oldest member of the team. That struck a chord with him (he was in his 40s at the time) and he realized he needed to reexamine his ageist assumptions about himself, as well as society's assumptions about aging.They talk about:- How Carl moved from slowness to aging as a focus of his work. The connection is "drilling down to the stuff that really matters and focussing on that," as he puts it.  - Whether the Slow Movement has really caught on in the past two decades. Carl says it has; Debbie is a bit more skeptical.- Why ageism is still difficult to root out. They discuss how changing our language around aging is hard (but we should keep trying!). And why we should consider the practice of contemplating death… lightly, as a way to remember to enjoy the here and now. This is a wonderful conversation with a highly articulate author and thinker on the topics of slowness and aging. Mentioned in this episode or useful:Note: The subtitle of the American edition of Carl Honoré's book is: How to Age Better and Feel Better About Aging.CarlHonoré.comIn Praise of Slow: Challenging the Cult of Speed by Carl Honoré (HarperOne; 2005)Bolder: Making the Most of our Longer Lives by Carl Honoré (Simon & Schuster UK; 2019)30 Days To Slow (2020 workbook that accompanies In Praise of Slowness)Carl Honoré: the Power of Slow | TED TalkCarl Honoré: the Power of Aging | TED TalkCarl Honoré on BBC Radio 4: Ending AgeismCan you think yourself young? by David Robson (The Guardian, Jan. 2, 2022)Bolder: making the most of our longer lives Carl's workshop at MEA in Baja, MX (Jan. 31 - Feb. 5, 2022) Note from DebbieIf you've been enjoying the podcast, please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts.

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.

Good morning, beautiful. This week's meditations are full of water sounds. It's said that the sounds of water can have a calming effect on us. And the white noise they provide can help us clear our minds, often sparking creativity, insights and a feeling of peaceful centeredness. So all week, we'll begin our meditations with just a bit of guidance, and then ease into the soothing sounds of water. I hope it's a special time for you to surrender to the calm within you.

Episode 19: What is slow, life-sized travel? On a visit to an off-the-grid tiny house in the Helsinki archipelago, Mikael discusses the idea with his friend, Carl Honoré. Carl is an author, broadcaster and the man who started the global Slow Movement. While Mikael has been thinking about Life-sized Travel for years, Carl has also been playing around with his concept of Slow Travel. They started planning a tv series about their shared visions for the future of travel and, in this candid conversation, they explore what the concept of slow, life-sized travelling might be and how it could be the direction we're heading in, a post-pandemic world with an increasing focus on sustainability. http://carlhonore.com http://colville-andersen.com The tiny house: http://majamaja.com Intro and outro music by Phil Creamer from http://hereonout.ca

You won't find it on the commercial soundtrack, but the music leading up to Holdo's sacrifice represents the culmination of profound thematic transformation rarely heard in all of Star Wars. Highlights: How the Desperation motif spawned from the Tension motif (after various iterations). Desperation motif is heard in its final form as the three subplots come to a head and finishes right as Holdo rams into the Supremacy. Frank Lehman's "Thematic Transformation and the Limits of Leitmotivic Analysis" Basic vs. advanced ways that leitmotifs tend to undergo transformation in Star Wars The shelf-stable analogy of preserving precious leitmotifs for future use... and how that isn't the case here Teleological genesis: when a theme develops from a motivic fragment and culminates in a final instance, never to reoccur. Speculation, philosophical questions, and who cares about thematic transformation anyway? Also in these minutes: silence! Where we are in the soundtrack: "Holdo's Resolve" -- it's not on the commercial soundtrack. https://youtu.be/3rIBFn3oU7c Sources and References: Buhler, James. 2000. "Star Wars, Music and Myth."

Wayne Brady (0:00:00) Wayne Brady...host of the CBS game show “Let's Make a Deal” and Winner of “Masked Singer”...is hosting the new show “Comedy IQ” on BYU TV. The show features a group of11 teens hoping to prove they are comedy's next star. 6 finalists go on to compete in a “comedy boot camp” while being mentored by Wayne himself. These hopeful teens compete in a variety of challenges that involve improv, writing, directing, and more. But the show is about more than just turning talent into fame. We're lucky enough to have Wayne with us today to give us a behind the scenes look at the show.    Playing with Dirt (0:19:33) It's hard to keep your kids out of the dirt. They enjoy playing in it, making mud pies, and digging up worms. But, when kids play in the dirt, they get it everywhere and on everything. It's a mess for parents. But, it also might be part of the reason your kids are so cheerful.  In fact, scientists have reason to believe that playing with dirt makes you happier. Studies have found a microbacteria in soil called mycobacterium vaccae that lowers stress and helps you feel happier. It almost seems too good to be true. So, we invited Dr. Christopher Lowry, professor of integrative physiology at the University of Colorado Boulder researching this phenomenon, to discuss the connection between dirt and happiness.    Yoga in Bed (0:35:00) People have been practicing yoga for around four thousand years and its influence has spread across the world. There are many health benefits to practicing yoga, but unfortunately, we often feel like we don't have time to do an hour session with a yoga instructor. Well, take a deep breath (take a deep breath) because we might have a way for you to fit the downward dog and sun warrior into your busy schedule. Joining us today is Stephanie Mansour to teach us a 5-minute yoga routine we can do from the comfort of our beds. She's a nationally recognized Health & Fitness Expert who regularly appears on “The Today Show”. She's also the host of “Step It Up with Steph” which is on PBS and is launching on Create TV.    Couples Claustrophobia (0:52:50) At the beginning of most marriages, a couple's natural instinct is to spend as much time together as possible. You wake up together, eat together, shop together... you do everything together. However, as time goes on, each person gradually needs a little more personal space. This isn't a bad thing. In fact, a little alone time is healthy, it allows you to indulge in your own interests and hobbies, and makes you crave each other's company more as a result .But the question then becomes, how can couples establish a balance of alone time and together time and how can they do so without causing hurt feelings? Dr. Kathy McCoy, author, journalist, and, psychotherapist, is here to discuss this idea of couples' claustrophobia and how to find balance while being sensitive to our partner's needs.    Aging is Empowering (1:08:25) Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought “hm… this outfit really is too young for me?” or “gosh, I look a thousand years old!” I do this all the time! Our culture truly has a negative perspective on ageing, but the life expectancy has never been longer than it is now! So, because all of us are getting older, how can we learn to stop feeling like getting older is the end of the world? With us today to answer this question is Carl Honoré, a bestselling author and broadcaster, and the unintentional godfather of the Slow Movement.    Keeping Your Car Nice (1:28:08) Buying a car is probably one of the most expensive purchases you'll ever make. Which means it's important to take care of it so that your money doesn't go to waste after a few short years. But, there are so many little things to remember when it comes to keeping your car looking as new as it was when you bought it. You have to wash it, wax it, vacuum it, dust it, get the oil changed, and the list goes on. But how often do we have to do all of this and what are some best practices for maintaining our cars? Joining us to share her expert advice for keeping the interior and exterior of our cars looking nice is the executive editor of U.S News Best Cars, Jamie Deaton. 

The slow movement of the A minor quartet is profound–but somehow difficult to discover without careful listening.

Freelance Survival during COVID-19 (0:00:00)Coronavirus has thrown off basically everything in our lives from our school to work to even how close we can stand to people. One group that has been seriously affected by the pandemic is the freelance community. With businesses being put on hold for the next few weeks, the number of jobs for freelancers to do is declining rapidly. So, what can freelancers do during this crisis to stay afloat? Today we're joined by Alexander and Sarabeth Lewis, both freelance copywriters, to discuss what freelancers are currently facing and how they can adapt to this current situation.  The Power of Slow (0:14:58)This whole quarantine process has kind of forced most of us to grind to a halt with our daily lives. Things seem slower now, and sometimes it can be infuriating! But is this new slow pace really all that bad? There's been an international movement the past few years that's starting to really gain some traction. It's called the Slow Movement. From Slow Food to Slow Cities, organizations are cropping up all over the world to promote a less break-neck lifestyle. To learn more about how taking things slow can benefit us, we've invited Carl Honore onto the show. Carl is an internationally bestselling author of 8 books, and the unintentional godfather of the Slow Movement.  Soda Will Kill You (0:34:26)A lot of people have their vices, and for many, that vice is soda. A cool can after a long day or on a hot afternoon can be very satisfying. Now we've heard a lot about how soda and sugary drinks are bad for our teeth, can contribute to weight gain, among other problems. But a study done by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public health showed that soda can now be linked with an increase risk of mortality. So, can soda really kill you? We are talking with one of the lead researchers on the study, Dr. Vasani Malik, to learn if we really need to kick this habit in order to live longer.  Young on Raw Food (0:50:33)It seems like no matter what we do age catches up to us. Our hair thins, our bodies slow down, and our skin wrinkles. Aging is just a part of time passing. But is there a way we could beat aging and feel great—even at say... 80? Mimi Kirk, author and raw food chef and coach says there is. She joins us today to tell us about how eating raw has changed her life.  Easter and COVID-19 (1:08:26)We're all facing different circumstances than normal right now, and one thing that will be really different from normal is how we celebrate Easter. What is often a holiday celebrated with lots of family will have to be celebrated with less people. So how can we make the most of our circumstances this Easter? Here to help us navigate this different way of celebrating this holiday are Kim Howie and Nancy Werteen. They are the co-founders of The Wisdom Coalition and friends of the show.  Weekend Review (1:25:08)Lisa and Richie talk about what there is to do this weekend, from new streaming shows to the best books to read.

Utah Diaper Bank (0:00:00)You've heard of blood banks and commercial banks, but have you ever heard of diaper banks? Now, these aren't the kind of banks where you can deposit your old diapers to collect interest. Actually, these banks are doing quite a bit of good for new and growing families struggling to afford diapers, one of the biggest financial costs that new parents face. Diaper banks collect and distribute diapers to those who need them most. We wanted to learn more about how these banks are serving families so we invited Vic Velivis, executive director of Utah Diaper Bank, on the show to discuss his work and why it's so important for the community.  Aging is Empowering (0:12:16)Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought “hm… this outfit really is too young for me?” or “gosh, I look a thousand years old!” I do this all the time! Our culture truly has a negative perspective on ageing, but the life expectancy has never been longer than it is now! So, because all of us are getting older, how can we learn to stop feeling like getting older is the end of the world? With us today to answer this question is Carl Honoré, a bestselling author and broadcaster, and the unintentional godfather of the Slow Movement.  Questions to Heal, Laugh and Love (0:34:57)After a couple years of knowing our significant other, it can start to feel like we know every single thing about them. We know exactly what they're going to say and what stories they're going to share. But, it's important to remember that people, no matter how long we've known them, have an infinite depth, and we really don't know everything about them. So how can we dig a little deeper in our conversations to peel back a few more of their layers and keep things interesting? To help us answer that question we invited Alicia Muñoz, a couple's specialist and author of several books full of simple ideas and questions that can enliven and heal any relationship.  Spam Calls (0:50:35)It seems like we are receiving more spam calls than actual calls from friends or coworkers these days. I've received calls about receiving free hotel stays, winning the lottery, and even calls where no one is on the other line! But not all calls are so innocent. Scammers have convinced people all across the country that they are in trouble with the IRS. Is there any way to stop these calls before they come through your phone? Or is this just the life we live? We've invited tech expert and former editor in chief of Techwalla Dave Johnson on the show to help us breakdown how to identify and stop receiving spam calls.  The Sox Place (1:07:39)There are around 4.2 million homeless youth and young adults currently in the US. To help these kids, a father and son duo (Doyle and Jordan Robinson) started handing out socks to the homeless at the 16thStreet Mall in downtown Denver. In 2002, their acts of kindness evolved into the creation of The Sox Place, an organization that helps homeless children by providing them with food and shelter, among other services, in Denver, Colorado. Here to explain how The Sox Place is helping change lives is volunteer for The Sox Place, advocate for the homeless and cognitive behavioral therapist, Michelle Szynskie.  Slay Like a Mother (1:24:02)Being a mom is no easy task. We often feel like we have to be an expert at everything we do... work, childcare, interior design, and school mentoring among many others. Some days you feel like superwoman and the next you might feel like the world is crumbling at your feet. During our worst moments, it can be easy to compare ourselves to other mothers, but it's important to kick the negativity to the curb and remember that we're doing an amazing job no matter what! Here to talk about how moms can overcome that recurring self-doubt is Katherine Wintsch. Katherine is the founder of The Mom Complex and author of the new book “Slay Like a Mother”.

https://entrearchitect.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Mette2016bwsmall.jpg ()The Slow Space Movement with Mette Aamodt of Aamodt Plumb Architects “In 1986 Carlo Petrini protested the opening of a McDonald's restaurant in Piazza di Spagna, Rome and launched the Slow Food Movement. Carl Honoré explains in his book, In Praise of Slowness, that Slow Food stands for everything that McDonalds does not: fresh, local, seasonal produce; recipes handed down through the generations; sustainable farming; artisanal production; leisurely dining with family and friends. But ultimately the movement is about the sensual pleasures of food. Thirty years after Carlo's protest, organic produce, artisanal cheeses and craft beer are everywhere. Foodies flock to ever more specialized restaurants serving only food cultivated in their own backyards. Whole Foods is considered mass market and Michelle Obama is promoting farm-to-table in public schools. Carlo should be proud. He saved food! Since then, the http://aamodtplumb.com/slow-space-movement/ (Slow Movement) has touched almost every industry except ours. Slow Cities. Slow Aging. Slow Religion. Slow Cinema. Slow Education. Slow Sex. Slow Medicine. Slow Fashion. Slow Parenting. Slow Travel. Architecture, design and the building industry are conspicuously absent from the list. We find that strange. So we decided to do something.” – http://aamodtplumb.com/slow-space-movement/ (Slow Space Movement) This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, The Slow Space Movement with Mette Aamodt of Aamodt Plumb Architects. Background Mette Aamodt is an architect, CEO and cofounder of Aamodt Plumb, an architecture, interiors, and construction firm in Cambridge, Mass. She’s a former AIA member, a design activist, and cofounder of the Slow Space Movement to promote good, clean, and fair buildings for all. She publishes biweekly thought pieces on her blog, http://SlowSpace.org (SlowSpace.org), to explore ideas around slow space and slow architecture. She’s a mother of two with her husband and partner, Andrew Plumb. She was diagnosed with MS in 2002 upon graduation from Harvard’s GSD. Origin Story Mette’s story goes back to her parents, who did not want her to be an architect. Her father was an architect, and her parents taught her that architecture was a very hard business. She remembers the highs and lows and recessions. She found her way to architecture through a long path through urban planning and ending up at the GSD. When she graduated, she was diagnosed with MS. There she also met her husband and partner, Andrew. A week before her thesis review, she went blind in one eye and couldn’t hold the exactor to cut her model. Thinking it was stress, she pressed on. When she went to the doctor, she realized it was worse than she t thought. Mette and Andrew were starting their careers as architects with this horrible diagnosis and no idea how it was going to affect them. They were unsure of what to do because they believed in the power of architecture to make an impact on people’s lives, but they saw how much it sucked to be an architect and what little value society places on architecture. They were faced with a dilemma: how could they do good work, have a good life, and make a good living? Since then, the challenge has been to work to balance all three of those things. After a few years of working, they were lucky enough to start their own firm to figure out how to do things differently. How could they run their firm that was different from the way all the other architects were doing? How could they persevere to their triple threat: good work, good life, good money. They began looking at other business models for good examples of how to run a company well. Through trial and error and their own learning, effort, and mistakes, they’ve gotten to where they are today. There’s no status quo, they’re constantly innovating on
