Neither Carl nor I believe that busy and slow are mutually exclusive and it’s fascinating to talk to someone who so passionately advocates a slower way of life while living in a fast-paced city like London. It’s a really interesting look at the pressures we all live under in today’s hectic, results-driven society and how any one of us can adopt the idea of ‘good slow’ into our lives. In today’s conversation he and I dig in to what life was like for him and his family pre-slow and what steps he first took to create a slower, more mindful life. He is also a celebrated TED speaker, fast sports fiend, traveller, father and husband. Many people also tie the idea of slow to laziness, boredom or a lack of energy.īut in today’s episode of The Slow Home Podcast, I try to put some of those misconceptions to rest as I chat with Carl Honoré - world-renowned slow living advocate.Ĭarl is the author of three books including the international best-seller, In Praise of Slow. Slow living is so often equated with country life, an unhurried pace, fewer modern conveniences and less pressured work.

Birth Control is Sinful in the Christian Marriages and also R... by Eliyzabeth Yanne Strong-And...5/31/2023 Hm, but is this book spoken of anywhere or in any way important? It comes from a BoN, which makes me suspicious that it's just a drive-by slurring of someone's pet peeve or enemy, and may or may not be substantiated.- talk 09:32, 24 July 2012 (UTC) Ochotonaprinceps not a pokémon 10 13 points 09:29, 24 July 2012 (UTC) I can't find the really good photo of a van that's covered entirely in taped-down paper ranting about Obama, Satan, and homosexuals, so that mess that's halfway between fundie ranting billboard on wheels and white-trash art car will have to do. This appears to be the published version of these sorts of vehicles. Also I believe "We have free discourse on RW, even to the extent of permitting reprehensible opinions." Therefore we must keep this, otherwise it's CENSORSHIP!! - Psygremlin ( talk) 09:15, 24 July 2012 (UTC) Well, all the CAPITAL LETTERS mean IT MUST BE TRUE. Is this notable or interesting in any way?- talk 09:05, 24 July 2012 (UTC) Chodron, a renowned Buddhist teacher, has created a book that is both practical and profound. When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times (Shambhala Classics) by Pema Chodron is an amazing book that provides valuable insight and advice on how to deal with difficult times. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to find peace and joy in their life. It is filled with wisdom and practical advice that can be applied to everyday life. Overall, I found this book to be an inspiring and thought-provoking read. Chodron offers insight into the importance of accepting and embracing difficult emotions, how to practice self-compassion, the power of letting go, and how to cultivate a sense of connectedness. The book is divided into four sections that focus on different aspects of living a wholehearted life. She also provides practical advice on how to practice self-care, cultivate compassion, and maintain a sense of connectedness with others. Chodron does a great job of explaining how to find peace and joy in life, even when things seem uncertain or overwhelming. The book is written in a very accessible and straightforward manner. I found it to be a great resource for understanding the importance of living life with an open heart. This book was a great read and very informative. I recently read "Welcoming the Unwelcome: Wholehearted Living in a Brokenhearted World" by Pema Chodron. Sagan encouraged until the last day his love for the scientific method, and to think in a critical way. We are made by the cosmos, we are created by universe’s stuff. Science is the spiritualization of the Universe, it’s the soul in itself. He popularized Science, making it easy, dynamic, and more democratic. Science was not longer a tool of few privileged intellectual people. He was in love about history, Anthropology, Biology, and Physics. He adopted the universe like his hometown, He was fascinated by the variety of cultures, civilizations, languages, and lifestyles. Carl Sagan represented the candle of light in a world covered by pseudo-science, superstition, intolerance, racism and religion, which in essence is the same. |
