My first book, ‘In Praise of Slowness,’ examines how the world got stuck in fast-forward and chronicles a global trend towards putting on the brakes. That trend is called the Slow movement. ‘Slow’ in this context does not mean doing everything at a snail’s pace. It means doing everything at the right speed.
Almost every month, I have a day where I get stuck in the mud of me. I used to blame hormones and PMS. After I hit 50, I blamed the lack of hormones. But men get stuck, too, so it must simply be the human condition.

One of my favorite things about traveling is experimenting with different workouts in different gyms.

I love that challenge.

I think I was a late developer because I’d been stuck in the country and was a little bit shy and withdrawn.
