Carl Honoré is an award-winning journalist, TED speaker, and is the international bestselling author of In Praise of Slow: How a Worldwide Movement is Challenging the Cult of Speed. Hailed by the Wall Street Journal as “an in-demand spokesman on slowness” and by CBC Sunday Edition as the “unofficial godfather of a growing cultural shift in slowing down,” Honoré builds a compelling case for slowing down as a way to live, work, and play better in the fast-paced modern world.
Honoré’s TED talk has been viewed more than two million times, while In Praise of Slow has been translated into more than 30 languages; was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week, and the inaugural choice for the Huffington Post Book Club. In Praise of Slow also featured in a British TV sitcom, in Argentina’s version of Big Brother, and in a television commercial for the Motorola tablet.
His second book, Under Pressure, explores the state of childhood today and shows how we are raising a generation of over-managed, over-stimulated and over-indulged children, was shortlisted for the Writers’ Trust Award, the top prize for non-fiction in Canada, while his most recent 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.

Honoré presented a series for BBC Radio 4 called The Slow Coach, in which he helped frazzled, over-scheduled Britons slow down. He also presented a TV show called Frantic Family Rescue on Australia’s ABC. His TED talk on slowness has been viewed 1.75 million times. He is also a host of a podcast called The Slow Revolution.
In addition to writing, Honoré has worked with street children in Brazil, and covered Europe and South America as a journalist for the Economist, Observer, Miami Herald, Houston Chronicle, Time, National Post and other publications.
