One day, journalist Carl Honore realized that his life was far too hectic. He rushed through airports, he was grumpy all the time, and he even rushed his son’s bed-time stories. When he saw a newspaper article extolling the virtues of “the one-minute bedtime story,” he realized that something had to give and wrote a book called "In Praise of Slowness: How a Worldwide Movement in Challenging the Cult of Speed" (HarperCollins). He tapped into a larger zeitgeist, the slow movement, a reaction to the crazed speed of contemporary life. Carl Honore joins Host Larry Mantle to discuss the art of slowing-down.
