It has been described as the No Logo of its age, but it's far more compelling and intelligent than that, and a necessary addition to the reading list of marketing, HR and new product development departments. Matthew Gwyther, the editor of Management Today, described 'In Praise of Slow' as "thorough and highly persuasive.(a book) well on its way to cult status. It has also been put on the curriculum of schools, universities and business colleges around the world. Hailed as a manual for leading a richer, more productive life by publications ranging from Yoga Journal and Spirituality and Health to the Economist and Business World, 'In Praise of Slow' was chosen as a Non-Fiction Book of the Year by the Christian Science Monitor, and was a finalist in the Books For a Better Life Awards (US) and the Nautilus Book Awards (US). It has been translated into 32 languages and landed on bestseller lists in many countries. His first book, 'In Praise of Slow: How a Worldwide Movement is Challenging the Cult of Speed', examines the modern compulsion to hurry and chronicles a global trend toward putting on the brakes. He has been a foreign correspondent in both Europe and South America for the Economist, Observer, Houston Chronicle, National Post (Canada), Miami Herald, and Time magazine. He worked with street children in Brazil before turning to writing. Carl Honoré is an award-winning Canadian journalist and international best-selling author of 'In Praise of Slow' and, most recently, 'Under Pressure'.
