278. Learning how to slow down, featuring Carl Honore

We live in a ceaseless cycle of constant notifications and information telling us there is more to do and more to be, but this all-consuming routine leaves little room for creativity and imagination. When we slow down, we discover small moments every day wherever we are that should capture our hearts and attention. Today Carl Honore walks us through the tendencies we have when we’re wrapped up in busyness, and conversely, the benefits of slowing down.
