WHY

The message of Carl Honore is simple, yet counterintuitive:

"To triumph in a fast world, you have to slow down. In the 21st-century workplace, faster is considered better. But is it always so? When you race against the clock, everything from well-being to work suffers. Strikingly, the right balance between fast and slow boosts your health, as well as, adds more depth, pleasure and meaning to your life. Thus, you grow to become a more efficient, accurate, creative, and productive leader."

As The Economist magazine recently concluded: “Forget frantic acceleration. Mastering the clock of business is about choosing when to be fast and when to be slow.”

“My life had become an endless race against the clock. I was always in a hurry, scrambling to save a minute here, a few seconds there. My wake-up call came when I found myself toying with the idea of buying a collection of One-Minute Bedtime Stories (think Snow White in 60 seconds!). Suddenly it hit me: my rushaholism has got so out of hand that I’m even willing to speed up those precious moments with my children at the end of the day. There has to be a better way, I thought, because living in fast forward is not really living at all. That’s why I began investigating the possibility of slowing down.”
