Parenting and Education

Carl Honoré is the voice of the Slow Movement. His bestselling books on the benefits of slowing down are published in 36 languages. His online videos, including two TED Talks, have racked up more than 10 million views.

Carl’s book, Under Pressure, is a blueprint for raising children in a fast world and was hailed by Time as a “gospel of the Slow Parenting movement.” Carl presented a television show called Frantic Family Rescue on Australia’s ABC 1 (see trailer and behind-the-scenes mash up below). He also spent three years on the Board of Trustees of the Hewitt School in New York City.

Carl speaks to teachers, parents and pupils all over the world. Whether online or in-person, his keynotes and workshops are dynamic, inspiring, informative and full of humour. His message is simple, counterintuitive and game-changing: to thrive in a fast world, you have to slow down.

Carl is a father of two.
