How to Thrive in a Fast World – by Slowing Down

Do you live in fast forward? Always rushing, always busy, always distracted?

Do you yearn to slow down?

If so, then you’ve come to the right place!

For nearly 20 years I’ve been exploring the how and why of slowing down in a fast world.

I’ve written three books, made TV and radio programs and delivered hundreds of presentations and workshops on the subject. My first TED talk is called “In Praise of Slowness.” 

Now, I have distilled everything I know about slowing down into this course. 

It’s a practical, step-by-step guide to help you dial down the rushing, the distraction and the busyness in your life. To help you reconnect with your inner tortoise. 

The truth is that it is possible to slow down in a fast world. And not only is it possible, it is the best thing you will ever do for yourself and the people around you. 

Slowing down can make you:

• CALMER
• More FOCUSED
• HAPPIER
• More EFFICIENT 
• HEALTHIER
• More PRODUCTIVE
• More CREATIVE
• More PRESENT

Slowing down can unleash a better you at work, at home and everywhere in between. In a world addicted to speed, slowness is a superpower.

So, what are you waiting for? Let's get started!
