Details of the talkHow often, in daily life, do you really feel like you are in charge? And if it's not you, who is? In the busy world we live in, it's all too easy to believe that the demands of others – particularly in the sphere of work – must always take priority over our own wishes. This talk will help you to see the ways in which you routinely hand over responsibility for your life - and practical strategies and tips to take back control.

Details of the talkWhen life is a never-ending race against the clock, everything su�ers - our diet and health, our relationships, even our abilityto think and work. The solution: slow down. Decelerating at the right moments can bring more depth, pleasure and meaningto our lives. It can boost our health and make us more e�cient, creative and productive. In this talk, Carl will show how we canall work, play and live better by unleashing our inner tortoise.

BioCarl’s first book, In Praise of Slow, examines our compulsion to hurry and chronicles a global trend toward putting on the brakes. The Financial Times said it is “to the Slow Movement what Das Kapital is to communism.” Translated into more than thirty languages, Carl’s books have landed on bestseller lists in many countries. He speaks on the benefits of slowness around theworld and is currently making a TV show for Australia’s ABCin which he helps busy professionals slow down.
