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.
