Award-winning journalist Carl Honoré, author of In Praise of Slow, embarks on a revolutionary new approach to aging. In The Slow Fix: Solve Problems, Work Smarter, and Live Better in a World Addicted to Speed , he draws on the latest research and a lifetime of experience to explore the new idea that aging is an option like any other. Not something we passively undergo but an adventure we actively choose. We are no longer bound by tradition--we can choose how we age. To soothe our anxieties around growing older, we need big structural changes: tearing up the old script that locks us into devoting the early part of our lives to education, the middle chunk to working and raising kids, and whatever is left at the end for leisure. Instead, Honoré argues, we will have to dissolve these silos--to reinvent and restructure our lives in radical ways in order to make room for a radically different way of viewing later life.
