Carl Honoré joins me now. The acclaimed bestselling author has just published a new book, Bolder: Making the Most of Our Longer Lives. In the book, Mr. Honoré travels the world meeting unique people who redefine aging. He looks at various trends, as well as different attitudes on working past the age of 65, health, and death. We seem unwilling to address the natural course of dying that it precludes us from living better, fuller lives. Carl Honoré is the world’s leading advocate of the Slow Movement. His book In Praise of Slow: Challenging the Cult of Speed was an international sensation. His other books include Under Pressure, and the Slow Fix.
