For all those Canadians checking in having seen the CBC documentary, the Globe and Mail recently wrote this about Under Pressure:

“A look at the mismanagement of the contemporary child: overprotected, overindulged, over-stimulated. An indispensable, anecdotal, comnmonsensical guide to why our kids are depressed, lazy and fat, and what we can do about it.”

Last week, the Financial Times urged its readers to pick up a copy of In Praise of Slow. It said the book “is to the Slow movement what Das Kapital is to communism.” And they meant it as a compliment. At least I think they did….Decide for yourself by reading more here.

Well, it’s been a long time in gestation, but I’m finally ready to run my first Slow Retreat.

It’s going to be amazing. Think beautiful farmhouse in the English countryside, crackling fires, gorgeous slow food and wine, yoga, a guided foraging walk, professional storytelling, workshops and more.

The perfect way to relearn the lost art of slowing down.

Or even better: let’s talk about Slow Sex.

On Friday, January 15th, I will be doing just that in a public lecture in San Francisco. The topic is all things Slow, with a special emphasis on sex.

If you’re in town, come along and join the conversation. Don’t be shy. There won’t be any nudity. At least not from me…

Today at 3pm EST in the US, I’ll be doing a live webcam chat with Arianna Huffington about the Slow revolution. Log in, ask questions, disagree, make suggestions, laugh at the funny side of fast and slow.

See you there!
