We live  in a world where speed rules and everyone is under pressure to go faster. But when  speed is king, anyone or anything that gets in our way, that slows us down, becomes  an enemy. Thanks to speed, we are living in the age of rage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Carl Honore has discovered  a movement that is quickly working its way into the mainstream. Groups of people  are developing a recipe for living better in a fast-paced, modern environment by  striving for a new balance between fast and slow. In an entertaining and hands-on  investigation of this new movement, Honore takes us from a Tantric sex workshop in  a trendy neighbourhood in London, England to Bra, Italy, the home of the Slow Food,  Slow Cities and Slow Sex movements. He examines how we can continue to live productive  lives by embracing the tenets of the slow movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A challenging take on the cult  of speed, as well as a corrective look at how we can approach our lives with new  understanding, \u003ci\u003eIn Praise of Slow\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers a movement whose time has come.","brand":"Carl Honore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":42773415592096,"sku":"9780676975734","price":9.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_b32682ac-ce27-4912-9837-19b52a443f10.jpg?v=1732177521","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780676975734","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
