Ep 152 Discover Carl Honoré's Insights on the Slow Movement and Overcoming Ageism

Midlife Fulfilled Podcast: For People Over 40 Who Say NO To A Midlife Crisis

Carl Honoré is an award-winning writer, broadcaster, and TED speaker. He is the voice of the global Slow Movement. The three key discussion points from episode 152 are:
1️⃣ The slow movement is about quality over quantity. It's the art of choosing the right pace, rhythm, and tempo for each moment, ensuring that we do things not just as fast as possible, but as well as possible. As Carl describes, it's a culture quake about relearning the lost art of shifting gears, with relevance at every stage of life.
2️⃣ Embracing age pride and reframing aging is crucial in our culture of youth. Carl's latest book, "Bolder: Making the Most of Our Longer Lives," offers a spirited manifesto against ageism and reframes the narrative about growing older in the 21st century. Through mixing with different generations and assembling personal aging role models, legacy takes on new meaning, with a shift towards being of service and giving back.
3️⃣ The joy of missing out (JOMO) is a concept that underscores the importance of prioritizing and doing fewer things, but doing them better. By practicing the polite but firm brush-off and embracing the joy of missing out, we grant ourselves the freedom to focus on what truly matters, resulting in increased productivity and fulfillment.
In this episode, you'll discover the meaning of the slow movement, the power of age pride, and finding joy in missing out!
