«In Praise of Slow» is Carl Honoré's popular essay on the culture of speed, published by Orion Publishing in paperback (320 pages, in English).
Honoré starts from the idea that haste permeates daily life and weighs on work, food, health, relationships and sex. The book looks at tantric sex, SuperSlow exercise and the Italy of Slow Food to show that the Slow movement seeks a balance between fast and slow, without falling into a permanent snail's pace.
The subtitle of this edition is «How a Worldwide Movement Is Challenging the Cult of Speed»; the work was originally published as «In Praise of Slowness».
Recommended for non-fiction readers interested in practical philosophy, social criticism and cultural movements such as Slow Food.
Carl Honoré is a Canadian journalist who wrote the internationally best-selling book In Praise of Slow (2004) about the Slow Movement.
