Almost everyone complains about the hectic pace of modern life. Our culture preaches that faster is better - yet all this rushing takes a toll.  
  
Carl Honoré uncovers a global movement that challenges the cult of speed by proving that slowing down can help us lead richer, more productive lives. The Slow movement is not about doing everything at a snail's pace: it is about striking a balance between fast and slow in order to thrive in a world of chronic impatience and instant gratification.  
  
A seminal book, _In Praise of Slow_ is as relevant today as it was when it was first published.  
  
There has never been a better time to embrace the surprising power of slow.
