The book that changed my life

This week we're talking ¹ Jim Watts about a book that has been important to him: In Praise of Slow by Carl Honoré.

I So, Jim, when did you first read the book?

J It was about five years ago. I loved it and thought the ideas about the 'Slow Movement' were very ²

I What is the Slow Movement exactly?

J Well, today everything is ³ than in the past, so the movement is about slowing down and enjoying life. Sometimes speed is a great thing – I love my fast broadband, for example. Sometimes speed is good, sometimes it's bad. As the book says, it depends ⁴ what you're talking about.

I What about high-speed travel?

J Well, you can travel from London to Bruges in two hours, but do you really enjoy it? I ⁵ that journey last year by bicycle. Yes, it was slow, but I ⁶ lots of people and saw the beautiful countryside. When I arrived ⁷ Bruges, I cycled along the canals, and it was fantastic.

I Is there anything else ⁸ is better if you do it slowly?

J Almost everything. Like food, for example. I never go to fast food restaurants. It's better to go ⁹ more traditional, sit down and talk to your friends while you wait half an hour for your food. We don't need to ¹⁰ in a hurry all the time.

I Thank you for sharing your ideas with us, Jim.
