IN PRAISE OF SLOWNESS: Challenging the Cult of Speed
Journalist Carl Honore examines the challenges to the cult of speed in our age of multi-tasking, 24/7 work lives and overscheduled children. Has speed made us happier and more productive? Or is the pace of life spinning out of control? Can we slow down without turning back the clock? Or is the slow movement only for the affluent?
