If I go in the gym, it will slow me down. I don’t go in for weights or anything like that. Each and every person is different, and this is my way, and I’m sure if someone else tried doing what I do, then it probably wouldn’t work for them.

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.
