I sitdown with Carl Honoré is a bestselling author, broadcaster and two-time TED speaker. He is also the voice of the Slow Movement. 

After working with street children in Brazil, Carl covered Europe and South America for the Economist, Observer, Miami Herald, Houston Chronicle, National Post (Canada), Time and other publications. 

His first book, In Praise of Slow, chronicles the global trend toward putting on the brakes in everything from work to food to parenting. The Financial Times said it is “to the Slow Movement what Das Kapital is to communism”.

Carl’s second book, Under Pressure explores how to raise and educate children in a fast world and was hailed by Time as a “gospel of the Slow Parenting movement”.

Carl’s third book, The Slow Fix, explores how to tackle complex problems in every walk of life, from health and relationships to business and politics, without falling for superficial, short-term quick fixes.

His fourth book, Bolder: How To Age Better And Feel Better About Ageing, is a spirited manifesto against ageism.

Carl recently published his first children’s book, It’s The Journey Not the Destination
Published in 36 languages, Carl has landed on bestseller lists in many countries. 

In Praise of Slow was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week and the inaugural choice for the Huffington Post Book Club. It also featured in a British TV sitcom, Argentina’s version of Big Brother and a TV commercial for the Motorola tablet. 

Under Pressure was shortlisted for the Writers’ Trust Award, the top prize for non-fiction in Canada. 

Bolder was also a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week as well as a Reader’s Digest (UK) Book of the Month.

Carl featured in a series for BBC Radio 4 called The Slow Coach in which he helped frazzled, over-scheduled people slow down. He also presented a television show called Frantic Family Rescue on Australia’s ABC 1.

Carl lives in London. While researching his first book on slowness he was slapped with a speeding ticket.

This is one of my best of best tv shows ever!!
What does it mean to live in Gyeonggi-do?
It's a pathetic story about pathetic people, 
but I can’t deny this is also my life story. 
You can feel it more touching than any other story.
It’s the drama that makes you look back on your life.
If you enjoyed "My Mister", I highly recommend it!
