Huffington Post gets in the Book Club game with 1st selection: In Praise of Slowness


Take a deep breath and join the slowness movement!
Adriana Huffington of the popular blog The Huffington Post has started her own Book Club. The first Huffington Post Book Club pick is Carl Honoré's In Praise of Slowness. First published in 2004, it's an engaging exploration of the Slow Movement, and it encourages readers to take some time instead of speeding and multi-tasking through one stressful project to the next. A journalist, Honoré offers a detailed report of the Slow Movement's role in every aspect of life, from food to sex to relationships to work. The idea of slowing down isn't new, either. Great thinkers and writers have been talking about how important it is to take time for yourself and for reflection for a long time.
